13, that is a number I really like. I know I like a lot of numbers, bu 13 is somewhat special. 13 is the container, the holder, the keeper of pretty much everything in life, and in the universe. With out Jesus, there would not have been 12 disciples, with out an egg carton there would be nothing to hold a dozen eggs. With out Orpheus the 12 primary constellations would be silent. There are so many good things about 13, your daughter is lucky to have such an auspicious day as a birth day.
Change a constant in life, it helps us grow, or it leaves us as broken husk lamenting about the good old days. I like change, if I knew a change was coming I am not sure I would prepare for it, I like how change can sometimes throw a dozen monkey wrenches at us and dodging them can be fun, but catching them to build a new future is more fun.
Sometimes we just need to change our outlook or perspective on something to make it less demanding, or less stressful. The view from above is always different than the view from below.
