Day 11
In case you missed it (ha!), today is 07/07/07, aka this year’s Very Symmetrical Date (VSD) – seems like we’ve had a lot of these lately . . . because we have. In the middle and end of the century, it’s symmetry once a decade (2/2/22, 3/3/33, etc.), but at the start, we get them every year (01/01/01, 02/02/02, etc.). 2011, we’ll get four VSDs: 1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, and of course, the Most Symmetrical Date (MSD) of all – 11/11/11. It is the MSD because it has the maximum 6 numbers, and all are exactly the same number. Our last “yearly” VSD will occur on 12/12/12, after which we will once again be relegated to our decade-ly celebration of VSDs.
Ooohkay, that came out a little more nerdy than I meant it to.
Onward.
Ecclesiastes 9:10a “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.”
I always find things to do, but so often, I do them haphazardly and half-heartedly. I do them to do them, to get them done. I find this especially true when I am completeing a task that I really don’t want to do. This verse doesn’t differentiate between things I want to do and things I have to do.
It says, “Whatever.”
Lest you forget, 07/07/07 is a most significant date for your paternal grandparents since it is our 56th wedding anniversary.
