Day 25 Prompt: Do any Numbers Have Special Meaning to You? Which One(s) and What Do They Mean to You?

I'll Take the Number...

Numerology is an ancient mystical belief in the connection between numbers and events. While it is not a widely practiced belief system in modern times, many people still feel they have an association with a particular number.

Day Twenty-Five Prompt

If you have an association with a particular number, write about it. Why is it special? What does it mean to you? Is there more than one?

Do any Numbers Have Special Meaning to You? Which One(s) and What Do They Mean to You?

Note: These prompts are being supplied as a completely optional item for you to use, if you are stuck on what to write. In fact, you might want to use one of the earlier prompts later in the month if you get stuck.

Leader Board Update

I've been giving this a bit of thought. I think posting the leaderboard in here twice a week should be sufficient to show the progress the participants are making in the goal. My current thought is to post it on Sunday and Thursday, but I might change the days if I think of a reason to.

Instead, I will supply the link to the leaderboard most days. If you want to join us in the event, use the Join Code listed in the sidebar on the right.

Resources

If you haven’t seen them already, we have two (hopefully) helpful documents:

And, if you didn’t have it already, here is the link to the TrackBear App.

Closing Note

If you haven’t posted before, leave us a comment below. We’d love to get to know all the participants in the event.

lol - I saw that Urban Dictionary has it that way too... Dunno why, and their attribution of it to 2006 is silly. 5318008 has been around since the 80's. (And yeah, I remember that...)

I might as well get into it here, since I left it due to personal reasons (thankfully, not health related this time):

I was going to DM you, but thought you'd talk to me about it if you wanted...

I know that one too - used to overextend myself all the time... Took years to learn how to balance things.
