I was so busy this year on April 7th that the fact that this date marked it being four years since the car crash and four years of being in pain just passed me by. Thank goodness for small miracles, eh? Then four days later came my wedding anniversary. I was sad that day. Then came Monday the 12th and I was full speed ahead it getting stuff accomplished.
The past is clearly important. But it's nice to be in the present, planning for the future.
It's funny how we remember "bad anniversaries" just as much as the good ones. August 9th when my house burned down will always be one for me!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you have things to look forward too and a good present to live in!
A counselor once explained to me the importance of anniversaries - whether they marked good or bad events. It seems our brains pay attention to these things even if we don't seem to consciously.
ReplyDeleteReally? That's funny. The weirdest anniversary I remember for me is May 16 1998...the day an old boyfriend and I were going to get married...It's really funny how often I remember it on the day and think about it! So thanks for sharing what your counselor said I don't feel so weird anymore!
ReplyDeleteAnytime! That man was very wise. I learned a lot from him. And besides, you are always helping me feel less weird!
