life by the numbers

100 numbers are all around us.  like it or not.  6:30  They rule our day and our decisions  160 no matter how hard we try to "pretend"  WE are in control, it is those numbers ... often  ever elusive.  demanding.  bossy.  2-3  ... teasing ... snickering 18.  These numbers, are milestones at times,  but hold us back as well. 1-1  Numbers are often a key factor for rules & laws & requirements & health measures.  65  But too often, they are labels and stamps created 25 to categorize us.... and set limits more likely to fail than succeed!  110/68.  I understand that some people actually need to be told a specific number sometimes (common sense just isn't common enough place in my opinion)  4/4   I also understand that a great many people pay little or no attention to them anyway, but ...
I was thinking the other day (?) that there probably doesn't exist a TOTALLY valid number.  6' "It" had to come from a recipe or formula or calculation of some sort itself.  parameters were set, ranges determines (that, by the way keep changing 39 ... so- how accurate can they be?)  Anyway- back to the thinking part ..... if each time we were presented with a number, 20/20 we took it upon ourselves to gather more information on our own, consult others and then ... found where we, as individuals need to set our own number!   I've kinda been allowed to do that recently.  1st   it's a heady feeling.
