Something to Ponder

numerology

[noo-muh-rol-uh-jee ]
noun
1. the study of numbers, as the figures designating the year of one's birth, to determine their supposed influence on one's life, future, etc

I like to dabble in the 'new age' type of things.  I've always been interested in Astrology and I was really getting into Palm Readings many, many moons ago.  Numbers is something I more or less paid some attention to but didn't put much effort into the study.  It just seemed kinda hokey.  However....

I've always been told, read, and/or came across that my 'lucky number' was seven.  Didn't pay much attention to it other than random coincidences.  Then, in my late night self-entertainment I began thinking.  I did remember that my first apartment that I landed in Asheville was # 421 to which I felt like it was 'meant to be' since my phone number in Arkansas had the digits '421' in the last four of the sequence.  Recognizing that gave me confidence and reassured my faith that my leap of faith and a big move was the right thing for me to do at that time.  That was sixteen years ago.  

Other recalls....my second apartment address did not have any 'sevens' in the sequence, however my phone number was a '3679' sequence.  Thus, the seven pops up.  If you want to go way, way back, my phone number in college, long before I even thought of moving to North Carolina, was a '3542' sequence,which if you're a real math nerd, you will recognize that both 35 & 42 are divisible by seven.  Weird, eh? 

And to continue...the very first house I fell in love with when I had only been in Asheville for about three years had a '21' for the address.   Blackjack!  haha..  (Seven times two, duh!)  However, I did not get that house which made me sad for a very, very long time but it was an older house which means a lot of investment to update.  I had good intentions but I certainly did not have the money to truly get it done.  I still love an old bungalow though...

At the time I left my second apartment I had a cell phone to which the digits include a seven.  Whatever...I then stayed with my mother for a few months while I got my act together.  That is another long winded story to which I will not discuss at this time.  However, her zip code did indeed, include a seven. 

Then I moved to my prior rental. A small 'studio' home which felt more like a shack but again...the address was '21'.  Blackjack!  (couldn't resist...).  Again, divisible by seven.  Am I reaching too far?  So many, many moons later and many, many personal hurdles I now have a home of my own.  My address is '49'.  Seven squared if you will....So maybe there is some truth in this numerology stuff.  Maybe not.  I do find it ironic though.  And I kinda like it that way.  Maybe I should play the lottery.  Or Blackjack.  (insert winking face here..)  By the way, if you think I'm really looney tunes about this, our home phone number growing up was a '2124' sequence.  Again...'21' shows up.  Divisible by seven.  Hell....maybe I should book a trip to the casino and play me some cards.  elizinashe
