44

I have a thing with the number 11. I see it a lot. 11, 11:11, 1:11, 111, you get the idea. You might even call it my lucky #. FYI - Did you know that 111,111,111 X 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321 ?

I found out during my early 20s that there was actually a religious cult in Montana that was centered around the number 11 (no, this isn't how I ended up in Montana). I found a book that their leader published. It was a little too "out there" even for me, but I still have the book. I was simply fascinated by the fact that there were actually other people experiencing 11:11 "phenomena". I found many people online that were "normal", so to speak, just like me (that probably depends on who you talk to) that also saw 11s a lot. I even found out that my sister did but neither of us had ever mentioned this to the other. Google 1111. It's surprising the number and variety of search results you will get. That photo of the Japanese Maple leaf, btw, is compliments of www.1111.com which doesn't have much to do with 1111 other than that is their PO Box #.

I am not sure what it means exactly, other than I do notice it more at certain periods of life than others. I asked my redneck psychic what he thought about me seeing 11s and he told me maybe the 7 was just burned out on the sign (his answer is an example of why I like this man). If I had to pinpoint a reason for myself, I'd say it's a message from the Universe to pay more attention to what is going on around me.

11 is considered a master number in numerology, along with 22, 33, 44, ... Without getting too much into explanation that I would have to look up even to explain (and you may not even care), master numbers are just more "special" than the other numbers.

So now to the point of my post. Obama will be the 44th President. I looked up the "meaning" of 44 in a book called Angel Numbers by Doreen Virtue. I look at numerology the same way I do horoscopes. They may or may not have meaning for you, and they often only have as much meaning as you give to them. This is what the book said:

"Many angels are with you now. You can ask these angels to help you with anything that brings peace to you and your loved ones. Don't tell the angels how to fix a situation; just ask them to fix it. The Divine and infinite wisdom of the Creator guides you (through the angels) to a wonderfully ingenious solution."

Just like a horoscope, a lot (or little) can be read into this. In light of the all the crap that is going on in this country, I choose to believe this. I choose to believe that Obama will have the divine guidance necessary for returning our country to what it was and more.

Today's horoscope (I don't normally read them) compliments of Frances Drake via the Bozeman Daily Chronicle for Aquarians (me) is:

"Important people notice you now. Furthermore, they are impressed, even if you don't do anything special. Therefore, make the most of this, because it won't always be easy. "

I am not sure who these important people are (could it be you?), but I think they must be OK if they are impressed just by me being me (Honestly, I really don't have to do anything special to be special because I am special).

Yep, I choose to believe my horoscope (and possibly my delusions) today, too.
