My dear sainted Irish Mother would have told you this:
ON FRIDAY THE 13TH, IN ORDER TO REVERSE THE CURSE OF THE DAY, YOU MUST DO A SILENT GOOD DEED.
She believed it and because I am, in general, quite superstitious, I do too.
So, today you must do a good deed and don't tell a soul.
Hold a door open for someone even if you are in a hurry and it means waiting until they reach the door from the sidewalk.
Buy the person in front of you coffee.
And it is even better if you do a good deed for someone you dislike.
Tell that boss that you dislike that he looks wonderful today. And not in a sucky up way.
That woman in your office who won't stop talking? Sit down and ask her what her family does for Thanksgiving and listen.
Instead of two goodnight books, read your kid three.
Bring doughnuts to work.
Call your sister and tell her that she is the best in the world. Even if, hey, you privately think she is sort of a slacker in that department.
I already did mine and it is only seven a.m!
But my lips are sealed.

Hey, so can a good deed be something you didn't do or rather, say? Oh forget it, DO? Scenario: Morning train. Fellow passenger boards clacking, chomping, popping big ass wad of gum. In your ear. Invading your space. Ruining your few precious moments with the lovely Paretsky. WWMD?
Ok. Ok. something nice. Secret nice. Ok, Got it. On it.
But I do good deeds every day! ;) Especially for my mother...
okay, i'm not overly superstitious but i like the idea.
:-)
What a great idea!
I played games for those who couldnt access it...does it count? :) Ok, if not, does cooking really good pasta with three cheese sauce count?
I gotta be nice? Crap.
this is such a wonderful idea. thanks for sharing it.
I've always been rather fond of random acts of kindness (particularly towards an unsuspecting stranger).
Fun for all.
Ok, I finally did something nice, now that the day's almost over.
Don't tell anyone.
good stuff...I did it without even thinking...whew, dodged that bullet. ;)
So THIS is what I did wrong today. I didn't necessarily do a good deed although I often do what your list requires...
I like this idea. You can bet that the next Friday the 13th I will remember it. My day wasn't so great today.
Hugs.
What a fantastic idea!
Damn, I should have read this on Friday! :) But somehow, I managed to survive the day without any major calamities befalling me. *smiles*
