Noooooo I missed 12/12/12!

Just kidding. Besides, technically 2/2/22 is a repeating date, just with slashes in different places, and I most certainly plan to live until then.  Doesn't always work out that way I guess, but the point I'm trying to make is that it's all arbitrary. As many others pointed out yesterday, you won't ever experience 12/12/12 again in your life, but 12/13/12 is just as special. Today is a day that has never occurred and will never occur again. While similar things may happen, the details of events that occur today are unlike any other.

Even your hairs were in different places as your brushed your teeth this morning (you did brush your teeth this morning, right?), unseen specks of dust swirled by invisible wind currents landing in unique configurations, flecks of dead skin replaced by new cells. You aren't the same as you were yesterday, and you will be different tomorrow. This is the only 12/13/12 we've got, just like tomorrow will be the only 12/14/12 you'll ever see.

Enjoy each day for what it is: a day unlike any other, the only one of those particular days you'll ever have.
