“What you see depends on where you look.” Those words are a reminder that we can improve our mood, our day and our outlook on life just by focusing on the positive things in life, instead of the negative things. With that in mind, Tell Me Something Good! Let’s share our successes, the little things that make us smile, and everything good. And if you find yourself having a bad day, come here, read a while and re-find your own smile.

Happy Friday the 13th!
Here's some Friday the 13th folklore:
Today is the 3rd Friday the 13th this year. It’s the most times possible in one year.
Next year, there’ll only be one – in August
About 20 million Americans fear this day, some to a debilitating degree. That’s about 8% of us
An estimated 900 million dollars in business is lost each Friday the 13th
Most buildings don’t have a 13th floor and hospitals don't have rooms numbered 13, because so many people fear the number
People say they avoid flying or having surgery on Friday the 13th, but the airport and hospital managers say it ain’t so…there’s no perceptible difference in volume on Friday the 13th.
The stock market actually historically has a better day on Friday the 13th
So there you go...now have a lucky day today!
