Luck

Anyone feeling superstitious? It's 09/09/09. It's just a date. A Wednesday in September, right? But somehow there's a whole lotta hoopla associated with the fact it's the same number three times. To me, it's just kind of a cool coincidence. My paternal grandmother was born on 12/12/12 and a friend of mine was born 6/6/66.

To numerologists, mathematicians, or those who study astrology it may mean something more. In some cultures I read that it's a lucky day to get married.

I find it fascinating by what we believe brings about luck, happiness, good things. Some people carry around a particular item like a rabbit's foot or perhaps if they are an athlete they may wear the same socks that they wore when they hit a home run, won a race, made a touchdown. I find no harm in that. I mean, if it makes us happy or feel more powerful, why not right? I admit I've been known to wear a particular outfit because I feel so good when I'm wearing it or follow the same routine when it led to a more productive outcome on another day.

Do any of you have certain things you wear or carry, patterns you follow or actions you take that you find bring you good luck? Or maybe you think it's all hooey? I'd be curious to hear what you all think.
