12 – Day of Encouragement: Are you the type of person who naturally tries to encourage others when they need it? Does anyone in your life do the same for you?

I try my best to encourage or offer assistance to people. K is very supportive.

13 – Defy Superstition Day: From throwing salt over your shoulder if you spill some, avoiding stepping on cracks in the pavement, to worrying about black cats, the world is full of superstitions. Even if your rational mind knows these strange dictates have no influence on your life, are there any superstitions you do find yourself observing? Have you ever done something considered a superstition that actually happened, e.g. you broke a mirror and then had seven incredibly unlucky years?

I might do the salt thing out of habit, but that is about it. Nothing has happened that I recall.

I don’t think I’ve ever done the salt thing although my grandma was a great believer in the custom. I do touch wood for luck sometimes.

I forgot about the touch (for us in the US, it is knock) wood. I do that all of the time; again I think as habit.

Oh yes! I forgot you say knock and we say touch. I wonder why? Another example of 'same language, different words' LOL!
