Numbers rule


We are aware lately of how important numbers seem to be in our lives.

One of us struggles with numbers derived from blood drawn periodically, with doctors adjusting medicines accordingly.

The other must contend with the numbers of blood pressure readings, keeping to a strict diet in order to not elevate these readings.

Each of us when driving observe the numbers along the side of the road that indicate a maximum speed.

Some numbers we count down, looking forward to retirement.

Some numbers we add up to celebrate, such as birthdays or anniversaries.

Then there are the numbers that appear on the face of a clock, keeping us moving through our lives at a fast clip.

A visit to the gas station puts us into shock when we observe those numbers comprising the total bill!

The thermometer numbers regulate our dress as we prepare to walk each morning.

How important numbers are in all our lives.
