I forgot to write about this. This is real growth on my part.
Last Saturday, I saw on FB that it was the anniversary of friends in Virginia. I looked at my calendar and didn't have it written down. So I checked my dates book to make sure I had it. There it was, "Peter & Sherry, 1999." And in the same date, "Chris's birthday."
Chris's birthday. And it never occurred to me. I didn't remember or think about it.
For the first time in seven years, July 31 was just July 31. It was Peter and Sherry's 11th anniversary and nothing else.
I call that real growth.
"The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years." --Audrey Hepburn

Only read a few posts but can gather what you meant by this. It *is* real growth. Great to hear stuff like this. I was (still am) someone who always has those knee-jerk date associations too, often about sad stuff.
