Anniversaries are much over-rated. Live your life the best you can, be grateful for that which you have or have had, and go on.
Something that marks something on a yearly basis has very little meaning. Why tie yourself only to a day of memories or thanks?
Well said and right on the button. I’ve been trying to convince my wife that “An anniversary day is not inherently important”, but as expected that effort has been completely unsuccessful. As such, in 3 days I’ll be attempting to come up with yet another creative way to celebrate a day that I have to look up every year to make sure I get the right day.
In fact I’m not certain it’s 3 days from now. *sigh*
An anniversary day is not inherently important. What is, is either the memory of the importance of that day, which can be realized at any moment of any day, or, the importance of the person with whom that long ago occasion had any meaning, which may mean you are continually grateful for someone in your life and need no “special day” to make that person important, again.......................................And you tell your spouse that every year , right??
I couldn't agree more. If you live day #1 thru day #364 like you mean it, you can live day 365 as normal, and it will mean more than any Hallmark moment could ever mean.
My 30th anniversary is in November. I won't love my wife any more on that day, than I do today.
