I was thinking hard about why this year has been good to me. Am I near death? Am I close to achieving self-fulfillment on earth, even if I have not reduced my weight? On one my web-trawling moments, I realized that I have a triple auspicious date. The Chinese believe nine is a lucky number, which makes Triple 9's in my birthdate particularly auspicious - for good luck and long life. Lucky numbers are based on Chinese words that sound similar to other Chinese words. The numbers 6, 8, and 9 are believed to have auspicious meanings because their names sound similar to words that have positive meanings. The words the words “nine” and “long” are homophones.
