It’s Here!
Eleven, eleven, eleven. One one one one one one. If I wasn’t already married, I’d get married today, along with all the others who picked today because of the numbers. Make sure to stop everything at eleven minutes after 11:00 and look at the digital clocks!
Isn’t it funny how much attention we will give to things like the numbers in a date? An arbitrary date. Does November 11, 2011 have the same importance to people using the Julian calendar as the Gregorian? What if November 10 was a date of greater significance, and we overlooked it?
It is just a date. An arbitrary number.
We are here, now, in this moment. This is the greatest significance.
Every day.
No matter what the calendar date is.

It is also one of your closest friend’s birthday:-)

Well, of course November 11 is special in any calendar year! Happy Birthday, Ian!! If Cyndie had been home, she would have pointed that out to me in time to grant you better celebratory honor than my poo pooing the excitement over the 3 elevens this year.
I truly hope you enjoyed a good day and recognition of the event with your family.
