Just My Thoughts
By Christina M. Meide

There was no digital clock in the bar, the Night Watchman did not wear a watch, and my watch was not digital.

Seeing my confusion, he said, "April 4 of '04."

It clicked for me immediately. The wheels began turning. Here I had two situations coinciding with the clock numbers and major changes in my life. The first was 1:11 when the Night Watchman and I had gotten together, and the second was 4:44 when I'd moved from the home I'd had for eight years into a new home that I didn't own. Amazing!

I began to think back to the previous April of 2003 when my live-in from eight years decided to leave me. At that time, I spent a lot of time talking to my Spirit Guides and asking if I would ever have a normal, happy life. I wanted to know if I would ever meet someone that would stand by me and allow me to do the same. I played with the tarot cards asking the same question and they continually told me that I would have to wait until November, December and January. It was shortly after talking to my Guides and asking for some kind of sign that they could hear me that I began seeing the clock numbers, but obviously, I didn't put two and two together right away.

Fast forwarding to March of 2005, I began delving into the numbers again for this issue of the magazine. I was determined to have some kind of explanation for myself, and others, to explain why these numbers are a part of our lives.

The first step was to keep a journal through March. This journal was not just of number sightings, but of what went on throughout each day to try to coincide the numbers with some event.

Though time was a factor (no pun intended) due to my fulltime job, website upkeep, email sending, kids, house and ghost investigations, I actually managed to get all but two days logged for the month of March.

The results are as follows:

10:10 - March 1 (twice), March 9, 18 and 24.

11:11 - March 11 (twice), and March 19.

12:12 - I never saw this number through the entire month.

1:11 - March 1, 13 and 28.

2:22 - March 6, 7, 9, 11, and 29.

3:33 - March 4, 6, 9, 15 and 27.

4:44 - March 21 and 27.

5:55 - March 3, 5, 8 (twice), 9, 22 and 25.

While keeping track in the journal, I was also researching on the web anywhere I could find information about numbers. In this research, I noticed that many people were also seeing 666, 777, 888 and 999, but I had not experienced this.

Toward the end of the month, I saw the number 777 on March 26, 888 on March 27, and 999 on March 27. Coincidence? I'd say yes, but I don't believe in coincidence.

Obviously, I cannot put the entire journal in this article, but there seemed to be patterns for the Night Watchman and I in these numbers that popped up throughout the month. Had I kept track of what he had been seeing as well, it might have given even more insight.

What we have determined so far is that each number represents something important within our lives and gives us the "heads up" a day or two early.

For us, 10:10 seems to be the number of reassurance. No matter what happens, if 10:10 appears to us, we know that everything is going to work out just fine.

We are not at all sure about 11:11 as yet. However, it was interesting that it showed up twice on March 11. In looking back at the journal for these dates, I spent those days mostly alone as the Night Watchman had work commitments. This is significant because we aren't often away from one another.

The number 1:11 seems to coincide with our relationship with one another and what we are doing together to further our futures. This was the date that we came together and seems to keep holding the pattern.

It seems that the meanings of 2:22 and 3:33 are eluding us in meaning. Looking back at the journal, it seems that 3:33 has something to do with friends as the number always pops up on the day of or the day before we speak to a certain couple we are close to. I have an inkling that 2:22 has to do with money as each entry where I saw 2:22 had something to do with either spending money or gaining money from somewhere.

We've determined that 4:44 has to do with major changes in our lives. For example, I saw it on March 21 and my second granddaughter was born March 22 at 6:39 a.m. Remember, above I mentioned that the numbers give us a "heads up" a day or two early. Rarely does it happen the day of seeing the numbers.

Now we come to 5:55.
