DIFFICULT DAY

It’s one of those infamous anniversaries for an event I would just as soon forget, but at one year it’s still raw and unpleasant to think about. I had hoped my life would be different than it is. That it would be so full of better things that the day would just pass without notice. While my life's inventory of improvements is remarkable, the day stood out just the same. I suppose it needs more time and distance.

There is no moping though. Not allowed. Instead I went out and savored all the things that make this year better than last.

Maybe next year the day will slip.
