"One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do Two can be as bad as one, its the loneliest number since the number one" Beginning lines of a song I like sung by 3 Dog Night Multiplied by ONE, numbers stay the same. So unique is ONE, it is like the sun. For me, it is the number of my name in numerology, for I was “One” when I was born. Did you know each letter has numerical value? You can find online your name’s number. Even better, more numbers from your birth date you’re assigned. ONE means confidence and self-reliance, maybe selfish, but very self-aware. I love alone time; dislike compliance. For God and unity, ONE will forbear. The loneliest of numbers ONE may be, but I’m happy “One” is a part of me.

Ones are competitive too, but unlike one, I do not like to lead. My destiny and path numbers 7 and 5 are more important to me!

Congratulations on your win my friend. I'll be honest , but I am not that good with math even though I got a "B" on math 211. And my professor said I should drop out because I'd never pass. I surprised her :) She didn't apologize until she got me to myself. True story

Thanks, Lisa. Was at hospital all morning for my daughter's lumpectomy. I was able to congratulate contest winners during that time but did not quite finish yet

I was a fan in the 70's. Joy to the world, Shambala, this song etal. Interesting poetic take on it

Thanks. It was quite a day. My daughter had lumpectomy. We were 6 hours at the hospital and just got home. She is at her own home most likely sleeping. She has a long row to hoe ahead of her, with chemo, etc. Makes me so sad.
