So, I kept seeing this number, 2498, pop up. Wasn’t looking for it, you know? Just happened. On the clock sometimes, 2:49, maybe part of an order number, stuff like that. At first, I didn’t think much of it. Just another number.
But it kept happening. For like, a week or two straight. Started to feel a bit weird. I remembered a friend talking about ‘angel numbers’ once, saying they’re like little nudges. Honestly, I’m usually pretty down-to-earth about this stuff, but it got me curious.
My Little Project Thing
Around that time, things felt kinda stuck. Not bad, just… meh. Same routine, same results. I had this patch of ground in the backyard, just sitting there, full of weeds. I’d thought about doing something with it for ages, maybe grow some veggies. Never got around to it. Too busy, or maybe just lazy.
Seeing 2498 all the time, combined with that stuck feeling, I dunno, it just clicked. Felt like a push. Not in a magical way, more like, ‘Stop thinking about it and just do something, anything!’ So, I decided that patch of ground was my project. My ‘abundance’ project, I guess you could call it, even if it just meant a few tomatoes.
Getting Started
- First weekend, I went out there. Really looked at it. It was a mess.
- Spent hours pulling weeds. Hard work, got blisters.
- Then I had to turn the soil over. Borrowed a shovel, just dug in.
- Felt good, actually. Like I was breaking up the old, stuck energy, you know?
The Process and What Happened
Okay, so I got the ground ready. Went to the local store, bought some simple seeds – tomatoes, lettuce, some herbs. Nothing fancy. Planted them like the packet said. Then came the waiting part. And the watering. Every day, checking on them.
It wasn’t all smooth sailing. Some seeds didn’t sprout. Then these little bugs started eating the lettuce leaves. Had to figure out how to deal with that without using nasty chemicals. Found some soapy water trick online. It kinda worked.
Slowly, things started growing. Little green shoots first, then proper leaves. The tomato plants got bigger and bigger. Seeing that happen, day by day, because I’d actually done something… it was pretty cool. It wasn’t like winning the lottery or anything, no massive ‘abundance’ dropped from the sky.
But when I picked that first ripe tomato? Felt like a million bucks. It tasted amazing, way better than store-bought. We had salads with lettuce I grew. Used the herbs in cooking. It was small, yeah. But it was real. It was something I made happen by taking those steps, getting my hands dirty.
Looking back, maybe 2498 was just a coincidence. Who knows? But seeing it definitely coincided with me deciding to kick myself into gear and do that garden project I kept putting off. It wasn’t about the number itself, maybe, but about the nudge I took from it. It broke that ‘stuck’ feeling. That little garden, that little bit of green stuff I grew, felt like success. Felt like plenty.
