When I realized it was my 211th post today, I was trying to figure out why the number sounded familiar. 3-1-1 is a number you dial in the US for non-urgent calls to the police. Punching in the numbers 4-1-1 sends you to directory assistance. And, of course, 9-1-1 will get you emergency assistance in times of crisis.
So, I did what any modern woman would do -- I "googled" it. It appears that 2-1-1 is a number that you can key in anywhere in the US to search for information/guidance about any human service issues (health care, advocacy, etc.). Who knew???!! I didn't, that's for sure. There's a national collective that's trying to make this "universal" in the US, apparently, even in the smallest of towns. Good to know, huh.
Of course, for anyone having a birthday or anniversary today -- and you know who you are -- I'm certain it's a quite meaningful day.
Yet, there's still a niggling feeling that it's a significant number to me personally for some reason. And still, I wonder ... trying to remember ...
As the King of Siam (as interpreted by actor, Yul Brynner) said in the film, The King and I: "Is a puzzlement."
SPEAKING OF PUZZLEMENT, today's word art deals with the mystery of teenagers. Hope you can find a use for it! I thought it was fun.
Blessings on your day,
Melanie
