There have been many anniversaries of sorts that have passed and some new ones to look forward to. December 29th marked the 8 year anniversary of my Dad's passing. January 4th would have been his 72nd birthday. January 5th marked my one year anniversary at my Bikram yoga studio. Without an exact date, Robert and I will have been together for three years this year. In early May it will have been two years since my friend Jeff Neill passed away. June 22nd will be one year that I have been a vegetarian......and they go on and on...........
I try to think mostly of the good things, the positives, but it is hard to forget the bad and the sad. I believe that it is the tough times that make us who we are and help us develop and mature. I would hope that everyone would be able to learn from experiences past and find something that helped make them a better person. I guess that is just life and how things are.
It is nice to reflect and in light of recent events and happenings at work this is probably the right time to do so. What ever has happened in the past has helped shape me and what is happening now will do the same. What ever will be and will happen in the future will just be and there is nothing I can do at this point. Just pray and hope for the best for all involved.
At least I have Spain to look forward to at the end of August!

Oh, you're right - little Nettles. :o( I guess then I can also include Goldie and Sandy because didn't they all die around the same time of the year? Weird, huh?
Heidi,
I really like this post. And I love the picture of your dad. So handsome. Reflecting and remembering remind us to be better. XOXOXO
