Today may not be the most glamorous, the most talked-about, the most thrilling, or the most special day I've ever had, but today is a new & exciting day.
Exactly three months ago today, I turned 27, and for some reason—for my entire life—I've always wanted to be 27. This year was my "golden birthday" and I've always told myself that it was going to be my best year. So far, it's been pretty darn awesome. But I know that the best is yet to come.
I would never call myself a superstitious person, so what I'm about to say is just a fun coincidence and not about superstition, OK? I remember as a child, I once asked my dad what his favorite number was. He said 327, because it was some kind of turbo engine that he really liked (or something like that... Dad maybe you can remind me what 327 has to do with a car or engine?). Since that day, 327 has also been my favorite number. It's nothing fancy, but whenever I think of it, it always reminds me of my dad. ANYWAY, this morning I was thinking about it, and today marks exactly 3 months since my 27th birthday. 3-2-7. My favorite number. And that makes for a lovely day, indeed.
On the day I turned 27, I shared that I didn't know what this year was going to bring, but that I was looking forward to it. Today, I know that this year is going to bring great things, and I'm so excited and ready for them to start happening.
Mark this day, November 27, 2013... it's the beginning of a whole new me.

here's to new adventures to come. i always thought that 23 was my best year. now that i'm 24, i'm eager to what's gonna come next. and you make 27 sounds more awesome
This was beautiful and 327 is such a great and different favourite number. Most people would choose something simple or normal, but you chose different and I think that speaks to your character. :)
...And you're going to ROCK it x
You are still beating around the bush but I am starting to get a feeling of a few things that you are hinting at. I don't think I ever had a year that felt like it was my golden year or ever will. I do know how it feels like when the year feels like it will be nothing but bad but then turns out pretty well. =]
Haha, I love that your dad has a favorite number that is not 1 through 10!

I just know you'll love it ... it's a good number!
I think if we always look at our next year as it being the best to come, we always have something to look forward to :)
Well thanks! Never thought about it like that :)
Yep! And he reminded me, it was the number of a v8 engine he had in an old car of his :) so it has fun meaning.
I know. I'm terrible about being vague and leading you on :)
I can totally see that but it's okay only two more days til we find out... or at least I hope!
Somehow I missed this post, like a month and two days ago, but I loved turning 27, too. I don't know what it was about that number. It WILL be a great year for you, I know it!
I'm about to be 32 (March 19th), and I am struggling with that. Pray for me, friend, that I can be content 100% of the time, and know God's timing is PERFECT, and far, far better than my own! :)

I'm so glad that you realize it and are praying for it! I'm joining you in your prayers, Gayle :)
