What is it in my internal clock that has me waking up at 3:33 a.m. so regularly? Or noticing when the clock on my wall or computer is suddenly at 11:11 night or day? I cannot recall the number of airline miles I have with any of the carriers I fly and would be astonished if my internal counter is keeping charge of that, but there are plenty of other numerical events that seem to be worth noticing, from my body/brain's point of view. And this must be the case for some other folks as well.We are about to come to 12/12/2012 and that day will likely have folks keeping a watch out for 12:12 a.m. as well... if you go to the link, there is lots of information to entertain you and they are promising to keep it updated as the day progresses. For instance, did you know that the number 12 can be divided into halves, thirds, fourths, sixths and twelfths? Apparently people like to get married on days like this (9/9/09. 10/10/10. 11/11/11, etc.) but as we all know the number 12 limits the months in a calendar year in every language, so this will be the last year, last time to have a 12/12/12 date for a wedding. And from what I've been reading, there are couples that planned (1,446 percent increase over last year!!) this wedding date years ago!!
So, that begs the question, if the world is going to come to an end on 12/21/12 - nine days later - that should make the honeymoon segue into a very short marriage, probably shorter than Kim Kardashian's. What do you think about these number-focused events? Are you living like there is no tomorrow or waiting for 1/1/13?
It's actually a cycle of time, not time itself coming to an end, but I thought I'd pass on that waking @ 3-4 am is a sign of liver stress.
ReplyDeleteWaking at that hour is not only a sign of liver stress, but is also due to hypoglycemia, which is more likely for me - also reducing certain stresses overall helps to quiet the anxious mind, all of which seems to be ending the early wakening in my case. Perhaps others will find that information useful; thank you for posting.
Deletedear sandy,
ReplyDeletecongratulations on over 300 posts on your blog! the numbers games subject comes at a good time - our daughter's birthday is 12/12/2012, and i hadn't even realized the date's significance ( i mean, all 12's, not the girl's birthday!)
i've had a strange knack for looking at clocks and very frequently seeing 9:11, so much so that it was a bit unnerving. WTF??? were those numbers trying to tell me something? but even stranger, since i was diagnosed with breast cancer nearly one year ago, now the number i see ALL THE TIME is 7:27 - my birthday! i was born on that day, weighed 7 lbs, 7 oz, and my mother's room in maternity was 77 - 7 has always been my lucky number - no surprize there. this was my lucky year, because both hugh (diagnosed in 2009 with multiple myeloma) and i, with breast cancer nearly one year ago are now both in remission. can you guess the answer to the question you posed at the end of your post?! living like there is no tomorrow, indeed.
now though, i could be a little spooked. what if i discover another pattern of frequent sightings of 9:11??? i think i just made my first new year's resolution. it's two-fold: 1) chalk it all up to coincidence. 2) stop looking at the clock. who needs "what ifs"?!
hugs,
karen, TC
