The sign reads 02.22.2022. It’s Twosday. I’m pretty sure that numerologists are going to party 2day. Numerology.com says that 2 is known as a supremely feminine force that represents both grace and power. The number 2 is also associated with harmony, balance, consideration, and love. 2 is a good number and therefore, this should be a very, very good day to live. 2day is also Be Humble Day, World Thinking Day, National Cook A Sweet Potato Day, George Washington’s Birthday, Recreational Sports & Fitness Day, National Play More Cards Day and (drum roll) National Margarita Day! Now to the history of this date: On this day in 1630 Native American Indians introduced the pilgrims to popcorn. On this day in 1784 the “Empress of China” set sail from NY to become the 1st US ship to trade with China. In 1821 The Adams–Onís Treaty was signed between the United States and Spain, ceding Florida to the US. In 1879 the 1st 5 cent & 10 cent store was opened by Frank W. Woolworth in Utica, New York (failed almost immediately). In 1935, airplanes are no longer permitted to fly over the White House. Finally, this is the date in 1980 of the “Miracle on Ice” when the US Olympic ice hockey team beat the heavily favored the Soviet Union, 4-3 at Lake Placid. Since it’s Twosday, I went to one of my quote websites and searched on “two”. Here are a few: Ben Franklin said, “three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead.” Epictetus said, “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” Robert Frost said, “Two roads diverged in a wood and I – I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” Leo Tolstoy said, “The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.” I’ll end with Buddha who said, “There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth, not going all the way and not starting.” I wish you an excellent day. Abide.
