I am seventy-seven years old and here we are with a new Internet Blog in the year 2007. The number seven got me to thinking and I was amazed to discover that it carries significance in many different societies whether it is the Masonic Lodge or gambling or even the cultures of other countries such as in the Muslim and Asian worlds. Of course we have the well known ‘sevens’ such as the Seven Deadly Sins which tempt us all. They are present amid the Seven Wonders of the World, located on Seven Continents surrounded by the Seven Seas , and, lest we forget, the Bible tells us that God created the world in just seven days. Indeed, Biblical references to the number seven abound and the investigation of them is a complete study in itself. Just to humor human nature, we have the Seven-Year Itch and can you imagine any childhood without Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs?. And on and on. Just type in the number seven, click search and examine for yourself the numberless possibilities. I guarantee that you will be both amazed and intrigued.
And what does this mean in regard to Senior Planet? Just that it appears to me that Senior Planet is being launched at an auspicious time and, like the number seven, the possibilities are unlimited. Of course this depends on the interest of Seniors everywhere so think ‘seven’ and let us hear from you in this first year of Senior Planet in 2007. Hopefully, we'll discover, learn about, and share a great many things of interest and benefit to Seniors everywhere. Welcome aboard and take a walk through Everyday Strolls!
