Maybe it's random, maybe it's not. Perhaps there are unexplained forces at work behind the scenes that are guiding me on my writing journey. All I can say is when I started blogging at 8:08 every morning nearly eleven years ago I had no idea where my writing journey would take me. With the exception of one day when I woke up and forgot to publish a daily story, I've been writing continuously for exactly 4,000 days. I'm celebrating 4,000 blog stories today on 8/08. There is also a secret stash of 5,000 love letters penned by my wife and me that precede this blog. The letters and the blog messages are the foundation for my books, a memoir, a novel, and two more projects that will be released when the time is right and the edits are complete.
This isn't the first time I experienced an eerie encounter with 808. On this day, four years ago, I had my date with Davinci for a hernia repair. I flashed my "Live Long and Prosper" at 8:08 in the morning on 8/08 on my way to surgery. It was supposed to be earlier in the morning but the doctor was running late. Our daughter snapped the photo at exactly 8:08.
Random people visit my blog to tell me they found me because they keep seeing the number 808 and they want to know why. I don't have the answers. All I can say is I'm going to keep writing. Thank you for visiting. For those of you who have been here up to 4,000 times, I want to share how much it means to know you're willing to stay connected. I have no idea what's ahead in the future. My plan is to go one day at a time. So far, this strategy seems to be working. Have a great day.
