favorite number project

Do you have a favorite number?  I recently heard about the favorite number project by Alex Bellos, and was intrigued.  I never had a favorite number until I hit my 40s and then it made itself known to me in a big way.  Followers of by 365 project may have read my previous post on my favorite number:

44.  This number follows me around like a faithful dog.  It appears on signs, clocks & snippets of paper, in phone numbers & books, on license plates, written in the clouds, overheard on the radio.  Sometimes I see it dozens of times in one day; sometimes I go for weeks without seeing it and then it pops up like a longed-for hug or a cool hand on a hot forehead.  It always seems to bring with it a sense of reassurance and peace.

Share your favorite number in the comments, and then head on over and share it on the favorite number project page.

  2. Funny, 44 is one of my favorite numbers! If I need to pick a number between 1-10 though, I always go with 8. :)

  3. 2, 8, or 28. And there is no reason.

  4. My favorite number is 10. It's because I was born on 7/3/1955 at 8:20. 7+3=10 1+9=10 5+5=10 8+2=10

    5 is my favorite single digit though :)
