09/09/09 – A special day
When my alarm clock wake me up this morning, I realized the date is formed perfectly “09/09/09″. What is with this date? First thing that comes to my mind is that #9 is traditionally a lucky number and occasionally this date becomes one of the scheduled date for celebrating special occasions specifically wedding. In Florida, at least one county clerk’s office is offering a one-day wedding special for $99.99, such a good and inviting number for a marketing promotion.
Another special inclination to this number according to numerologist is that number nine holds special rank as the final numeral. It is associated with forgiveness, compassion and success on the positive side as well as arrogance and self-righteousness on the negative side. The day Sept. 9 also happens to be the 252nd day of the year (2 + 5 +2)… Isn’t it amazing!
The date in my calendar today represents the last set of repeating, single-digit dates that I will see for almost a century, that is until January 1, 2101. For all the couples who tie the knot this day, Congratulations.. and I wish all of you a lucky and blessed married life ahead!
