We choose how to read, literally, figuratively, and/or between the lines. Today's date can be read as 1-11-11 Five times one equals FIVE.
If you opt for 1-11-2011 the story changes. The difference between one and the other is TWO since 1 + 11 + 2011 = SEVEN
Likewise opting to add the number values of a given name, a chosen name or a nick name can make all of a difference in a person's life. How? Numerology has the answer. On a day such as today one or millions opt to publish a post, just for the sake of noting numbers. What's up with that? Nutty notions? Sure.
What's destiny but a number of figures added up?
Did you feel compulsive need about doing a certain thing on 1-11-11?

Judith, I love palindromes of all types and am waiting for 11-11-11 this year! In terms of my writing, I have to be careful to not "bookend" everything--because I like ending with what started.
Hi Judith. Two great posts. I also find numerology so interesting. All day on the 11th I kept thinking how cool this date was. I think part of it was its uniqueness. But I do believe in numbers. (Just can't figure out the best arrangement to win the lottery!).
All the best to you and hope to visit again soon -you always have such interesting posts!

@Conda, Some major events are planned for 11-11-11 I'm sure. In the Netherlands #11 is called the "gekkengetal" the number of fools, or crazy number.
A notion that may go back to biblical times and The Eleventh Hour
Your remark about book ending puzzles, me, do you mean you like to come full circle? Something we learn to do as journalists, whereas the art of blogging often leaves the end more open, inviting comments or even answers from readers... (open invitations)...
@Meryl, Thank you, thank you. I'm going to invite you to visit a guest post I wrote for Rose Deniz, look out for the invitation on my own blog! Will pop by your blog again soon as well.
