Do you have a favorite number?

Most of us have some superstitions whether we admit it or not. Do you try not to step on cracks in the sidewalk? Do you avoid walking under ladders? Common sense, actually. How do you feel about black cats? (I love’em).

Ever since I can remember I have had a favorite number. It is 7. It might have something to do with the fact that I was born on the seventh day of the month? That number has always seemed significant to me. Call it superstition.

A new book is validating some of my feelings about it. “Seven - the Number for Happiness, Love, and Success” (Twelve) by Jacqueline Leo just came out this week. (Of course it was published on the 7th).

Leo claims that this number is special. Why else would there be 7 days of the week? 7 stages of grief? 7 Wonders of the World? 7 notes in the musical scale? 7 seas? Heck, there are even 7 ingredients in a Big Mac! (I won’t let that fact spoil it for me).

Do you have a favorite number? What is it? Why is that one your favorite? How did you choose it? Is it also a lucky number? Do you have any superstitions? What are they?
