“The best number is 73. Why? 73 is the 21st prime number. Its mirror, 37, is the 12th and its mirror, 21, is the product of multiplying 7 and 3.” Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory
I don’t know what makes 73 the best number. It could be that it holds a special spot for me as some of the best people, ahem, have been born under the auspiciousness of the year of the OX.
But I am digressing. Coffee with John 73 does fall under an auspicious and magical one, solidifying and cementing my season of water for various reasons.
The most obvious – and the one I will share here -is that since then I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to share in my friend’s passion for paddle boarding, hitting the water once a week. Truly feel grateful to soak in the chance.
Sharing your passion, talent, good fortunes and yourself are what I took away from this last CWJ. My coffee mate for this round – an artist, social activist, and community leader – shares her artistry, her commitment to causes she believes in, and her passion for paddle-boarding, freely inviting friends to join her at her lake house to use her extra boards. Also, she occasionally shares and gives access to her lakefront to people to use.
What have you shared? How have you enriched other’s life by sharing your good fortunes?
We don’t all have lake houses, paddleboards, or have artistic talents but we can all make a difference in someone’s life by giving something of ourselves to others. It can be volunteering, sharing your smile, giving your time to talk to an old friend, and performing other simple random acts of kindness that can brighten and bring light to other people. We all have riches and talents to share.
