DATES we remember

Dates we remember

Now as we walk around in our daily life .....
We remember and never forget certain dates in history such as

Sep 3 1939 : Britain and France declare war on Germany ,

Nov 22 1963 : President Kennedy assassinated in Dallas,

Jul 30 1966 : World Cup won by England,

And the one that not any of us will forget 9/11,

There are a lot more other memorable dates I could mention
But what about the dates in our own life
you know them.....,(the good ones and the bad ones)

Your first love and that first kiss
Your first time at high school
Your first job
When you got married
Being at your first childs birth and seeing them take that first breath of air

I could go on and on about the good one's because I've had so many of them in my life
but as for the bad one's

I just have one date that I hate
and that is the one
That I lost my friend ,my Soul Mate, my lover, the one true love of my life

It as been some years now since she moved on and went to that place in the sky and with the passing of each year it should be a lot more easier to cope with that date as it comes around each year

And normally it is,
just with me feeling a bit low a week or two before the date and has soon as that day as gone I'm over it

But as some of you know I get hit by depressing 2 or 3 times a year of which I cope with and get over

Now for some reason this year that I can not explain my depressing seems to have combined with me remembering that date
And my condition of general feelings of emotions to cope with anything like this seem to have taken a walk and the feelings of-dejection ,withdrawal, sadness is greater and more prolonged than normal

And that is why I've not been on here a lot of late
I will get over this as I always do, just that it might take a little bit longer then it normally does

So my friends take care and I will be back soon ,fighting fit......... Bob

Hey Hu, my wife passed away last year & I kinda go through the same things when certain times of year come up. Holidays are tough & her birthday, which was on St. Patrick's Day but, what really hit me the hardest was Valentine's day, for some reason. In the past I never really gave that day much thought but, this past one was a hard time for me. Go & figure.

Hi Hu...I think I'll just call you Bob from now on if that is ok with you :)

Ya might try donating a significant part of your life to a cause that helps others...it would have to be a direct and interpersonal sort of thing such as youth counselor or working with the homeless...but I have found that nothing gives back as much as giving time and energy to such an effort. Good luck! Bob

I think it's impossible to bear some sorrows. I know we feel we ought to bear it, but it's better to just admit we can't in my opinion. The times when I've admitted to myself that I just can't cope or get over it or bear it then I seem to get a strength from somewhere. God knows where!
