The power of two. Such a strong connotation attached to such a small number. Yet with two, so many thing are possible. Sure, would you rather be chased by two bears or 16? While my gut instinct would be to pick none, I would  much rather try and outrun two than 16. (just sayin)

But two also provides some amazing possibilities.

Marriage. Basic I know, but marriage requires two. Less than that and it never works. Two people madly in love, best friends wanting nothing more than to spend the rest of their life together – that is marriage.

Kids. I got two of them. Two amazing boys that are truly a blessing from God. I am thankful for them every day – even when they are bickering, fighting and leaving their dirty socks all over the house.  Ok, maybe not then, but I do love them lots!

Partners in Crime. You know them. Friends who would help you move a body. Friends who you can laugh with till your sides ache with pain. Friends who you can attack with a Buddha statue and they still love you the next day. Not that I would ever attack a friend with a Buddha statue!

Feet. They take you where you want to go. I love the fact that mine allow me to run, wear killer heels, adorn its nails with crazy nail polish and kick a soccer ball. I have a particularly fond attraction to mine. They are cute. Nuff said.

What does the number two mean to you?

This post is in response to Bigger Picture’s prompt: The number 2. WHAT inspires YOU about the number 2? Gained knowledge? Gained community? Gained friendships? One is a lonely number, but you add one more- It is a gift.
