Awareness or Ignorance
I found this blog, Chicken Scratch linked from Creativity Portal. The title of the blog and the description caught my attention: “Observations on writing and taking pleasure of the small things in life. Want to learn to write beautifully? Pay attention to what a chicken scratches.”
I’ve either had to learn to take pleasure in the small things in life or live my life in misery. May as well enjoy those little things, eh? I would love to learn how to write beautifully and to stop comparing myself to those who do. Easier said than done. Bad habits are hard to break.
I took the Thursday Thirteen post as a sign to share this blog. It’s number Thursday Thirteen #33. I just looked at the clock and it said 11:11 am. I’ve been seeing that lately. Speaking of clocks, the digits of the time she submitted her posts adds up to 13. My daughter has been seeing the number 33 a lot.
What does it all mean? I believe there are universal meanings for the numbers, but I also believe that the meanings are also personal. On a personal level, the reasons for seeing these numbers may be similar and yet they are unique for each one of us. We all have our own circumstances, our own personal stories that have meaning only for ourselves.
Seeing these numbers can help to awaken us and to guide us spiritually. We then have the choice whether to become aware or to ignore these symbols. For some it may seem easier to just ignore them. For others, more difficult. If something is pulling at you to learn more, then why not listen to that voice? You might discover something about you or life itself that you never expected to learn.
I just looked at the clock again. It now says, 11:33 am.:)

Thanks for the shout-out. I’m afraid I haven’t been doing much scratching lately (at least online). I did want to let you know, since you’re talking about the significance of numbers - 33 - I was 33 when I wrote the first draft of Saints & Cigarettes.
