Well, here it is again \u2014 August 6 \u2014 my birthday. You all know I\u2019m not a particularly big fan of birthdays and especially not of mine.\u00a0
But, on August 6, 1938 I was born \u2014 I figured now is a good time to take a look at that day and its significance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
August 6, 1938 was a Saturday and the 218th day of the year. It was also the 32nd Saturday of 1938. If my parents had saved their 1938 calendar, it would have been useless until this year. The 1938 and 2022 calendars are exactly the same. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Up until today, there have been 1,039 full moons and I became my first one billion seconds (1,000,000,000) old sometime on April 14, 1970. I don\u2019t share my birthday with any really famous celebrities \u2014 about the most famous is Alfred Lord Tennyson, the English poet, born on August 6, 1809.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In case you might have the occasion to write the day I was born in Roman numerals, it would be
VI.VIII.MCMXXXVIII (using the DD.MM.YYYY format.)
You\u2019d never know it by listening to me, but I\u2019m a member of the Silent Generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m not really into numerology, but apparently everyone has a life path number based on their date of birth. Each number from 1-9 holds a vibration and each vibration produces a predictable characteristic or outcome around it. Numerologists believe that we have all had previous lifetimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based on my birth date (8\/6\/1938) my life path number is 8 \u2014 it represents experience, authority and endeavor. I am gifted with natural leadership and the capacity to accumulate great wealth. (Apparently the operative word in the last sentence is capacity<\/em>.) And the lessons learned from my last past life: I should develop my talent for love, happiness and enthusiasm to distribute these feelings to all people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n On August 6, 1938, in the United States, the most popular girl\u2019s name was Mary \u2014 the most popular boy\u2019s name was Robert\u2026. not Jimmy, but Robert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So there you have it \u2014 it took 84 years to be able to re-use the calendar when I was born, but I guess I don\u2019t need a calendar if I count my age by friends, not years. Well, here it is again \u2014 August 6 \u2014 my birthday. You all know I\u2019m not a particularly big fan of birthdays and especially not of mine.\u00a0But, on August 6, 1938 I was born \u2014 I figured now is a … Continue reading
