What is time is not a line, to be read from left to right? What if it is a circle?
I try to think of my entire life that way, actually, when I remember things. That way, the end result is not the all-powerful event-but moments or days along the way that were great. Kind of like visualizing your life's events on a Lazy Susan-just let it revolve and then pick off what you want to remember.
It also reminds me to keep making as many moments as possible that will be good to remember.
Another thing that is helping today is that I received several really nice and encouraging messages from NT folks.  |
You said you were going to post something, I just didn't know where to look. I like the Lazy Susan idea a lot! May have to try that myself.
Anniversary dates are so awful...and many times anticipating them is worse than the actually date itself. Now it's behind you and next years may be a little easier.
