Ten=Rebirth

Happy tenth week anniversary Theme Thursday!

What first came to mind after seeing today's theme was...numerology. I remembered a few months back I came across an article on numerology and it was fun learning about all these different interpretations of numbers and what they stand for. I remember reading that a first and loose interpretation of number '10' in numerology is 'rebirth'.

So Theme Thursday came full circle and is about to be reborn in a way...for new, interesting, worldwide adventures. I am glad I' m a part of this blogging adventure. Theme Thursday gave me the opportunity to 'meet' fellow bloggers from all around the world and I am thankful for that. In Greece we say "to deka to kalo" meaning "ten a good number" (literally). Metaphorically it means that something good has come your way...Theme Thursday is my "good number ten"!

To all the fellow bloggers out there, I dedicate the following instrumental song performed by a Greek band. The title is "to deka to kalo" so it is perfect for the occasion...



Take care
Peace and love

Cheery upbeat song makes me want to dance.

Roy said...

I really liked the music! What do Greeks call the instrument that gentleman was holding in his lap, that very zither-like stringed thing that he plucked with all 10 fingers (like that little connection?)? I know that in Arab countries it's called a qanun, and in Iran and Hungary it's struck with little hammers instead of plucked with fingers and is called a santur (in Iran) or a cembalom (in Hungary).

New Yorker wannabes said...

Roy: We call it santouri! I was waiting for someone to comment on that lol Thank you for the info on the other names this instrument has lol

Dakota Bear: ROck on lol

Take care all
Peace

Coffee Messiah said...

There's a Greek restaurant we go to whenever we are in Lafayette Indy-anna that is run and has been run by a greek couple for many years, We just found out about it a few years ago. They are always playing various groups of greek music and it's always a pleasure to eat and chat with them. Although they've seen us enough, they still are surprised we do not take any suger with our greek coffee ; )

Cheers!
