Wednesday 14th was an anniversary day for me. Seven years ago I had my operation. The day almost passed me by unnoticed and when I did realise I didn’t celebrate or anything but just remembered back to that day seven years ago when my whole life changed. A friend in Canada has just had her operation and low and behold it was on the same date! Pure coincidence. As I read about her progress it brings the memories flooding back. I don’t dwell on the past though, what’s been has gone but it’s nice to remember the good times in one’s life. My next anniversary will be 21st November, my birthday. These days I don’t celebrate that date, in fact I don’t really celebrate any special days for myself but do like to treat those around me on their special days. New Year means to me just the next day and I never celebrate it. I suppose being a Christian I should enjoy celebrating on 25th December but the fact is I don’t, instead I celebrate being a Christian every day of the year. Anniversaries are to me, simply days to remember moments in my life. I prefer to look forward rather than backward.
