The days of our lives, for all of us, are numbered. We know that. And yes, there are certainly times when we aren't able to muster as much strength and patience as we would like. It's called being human.

😳 Friday the 13th 😳

🐈‍⬛ Meet and Greet 🐈‍⬛

The association of Friday the 13th with bad luck has deep roots in both religious and cultural beliefs, with the Last Supper and the Knights Templar often cited as contributing factors

So that said enjoy your day and let’s do this!

We will be ok
