Superstitious - Yes but only if I care


You have found me in a meditative moment as I return to work after a weeks holiday and look to pick up the pieces and ties that bind me to clients, friends and – in fact – reality.  This has left me pondering about superstitions.

Am I superstitious?  I suppose I am but only if I care.  Do I read my horoscope each day?  Yes.  Do I read the man I loves? Yes.   Do I firmly believe that good or indeed bad luck comes in threes? Yes.   Will I be drowning black cats any time soon?  Not likely.    Sacrificing chickens? Not a fan of blood.

Why do I feel like this?  I suppose this is trying to make sense of the vagaries of life.  Spirituality helps but even the most religious people I know often seem stumped as to why this is ‘part of Gods plan’ – although they never seem to doubt that it is.

Personally, I have the fear and I think this is quite often a women thing that if I put too much faith and hope into something – I will watch it disintegrate before me.  If life is too good then obviously it isn’t a light at the end of the tunnel but a bl**dy great freight train.

I suppose this is bred from disappointment but also I think that it is tempered by experience and – dare I say this – instinct.  While obviously “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass but learning to dance in the rain”, buying an umbrella is not a bad idea either.

So, I will continue to ‘watch for signs’ but try to celebrate when I can and live in the moment – between checking my horoscope of course ( :
