The one practice that I've acquired is that of not seeing a departing loved one "out of sight"---I turn away while their vehicle is still visible.<br />Who knows why I do that?Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-25009891504396404452011-05-11T20:38:32.544-07:002011-05-11T20:38:32.544-07:00Oh my goodness!

I don't like picking up my own glove if I drop it either. Mine all came from my mum too:)Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-53918683220312631392011-05-10T23:48:56.573-07:002011-05-10T23:48:56.573-07:00I think I can lay my superstitions clearly at the ...I think I can lay my superstitions clearly at the feet of my mum, who taught them all to me!<br /><br />Mac n'Janet - your left-handed superstitions are right-handed ones over here!!<br /><br />Vickie - I did a post a while back on such things.

My husband travels away from home a lot with business and sends me texts to let me know how he is. I never delete a single one until he is safely back home again.<br />I have no idea why I do this or how it started!Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003521059890699861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-83291288209933159492011-05-10T07:09:54.263-07:002011-05-10T07:09:54.263-07:00How interesting I find this!
