An Anniversary "of Sorts"

Have you ever stopped in your tracks because of the feelings you are experiencing? That is, until you realize it's your anniversary, or anniversary "of sorts"? Or your un-birthday? Or the acknowledgement of a loved one's death? Or the butterfly beginnings which have begun to fade or threaten to be *gasp* forgotten? What about the realization of the passage of time? Children growing up? The acknowledgement to yourself that yet another year has come and gone,  and you have yet to make changes regarding your job, your marriage, your living situation and more?

If so, you are not alone.

Many of us do, too. It's that feeling of not quite being able to pinpoint what it is that you're feeling. Until you remember. And feel. Again. Anew.

Sometimes, it's a warmth that washes over you as you recall. Pure joy. Happiness. Love. At other times, it is a feeing of regret or sorrow. Or of longing. 

No matter. Remember, tomorrow will bring new beginnings. New todays. New days to celebrate and toast and to anticipate. 

So here's to me, and you, Happy Un-anniversary.
