I’m beginning to think (or at least hope) that 2008 will be a breakthrough year. In what form I’ve yet to discern, but after Lilly’s birthday last week, a bit of a numerology thing struck me. Don’t laugh. Sometimes a girl needs to grab hope anywhere she can.
This year I turned 40, and Lilly turned 4. Ginko just turned 8, and Tom will be 48 in October. Tom and I got married on April 4, which is another set of fours. So, I’ve always considered 4 my lucky number.
While I’m brutally realistic in my life as a whole, scarily skeptic in some areas, even what some have called painfully perfectionistic, I got to wondering last week if this is going to be a big year for me and Lilly.
I did a ton of research and wrote a piece for The New York Times last year on numerology and weddings (the text of that piece is on my other site — scroll down to Lady Luck as Bridesmaid), so I’m fully aware that the way I’m looking at these numbers does not conform to any formal numerology system.
But, the confluence still gives me hope … even if it is false hope.
I have pretty much given up on the idea of us ever competing. And, honestly, sometimes I wonder if I’d want to (or be able to afford to) should some miracle happen. So, that leaves these FOURS as a wide-open possibility — not necessarily a bad imaginary friend to have. Right?
What will it be?
What should it be?
What would be the best outcome possible?
I’m almost afraid to ask, but I’ll do it anyway because making decisions from fear is a poor way to go through life. So, if you could make a wish for me on my FOURS, what would it be?
I’m also happy to share my FOURS mojo, so if you’d like to make a wish for yourself, please do.
**** ting-a-ling-a-ling ****
That’s me tossing fairy dust.
