It's that time of year right now. We are in the final throws of March for Babies "season" as we call it. It really gets going in January and goes through late April/early May for us. It's also Aaron's birthday on Thursday - he would be 5. This weekend is our team picnic on Saturday and the March for Babies walk on Sunday. Then it all goes away and we're left with May.
May is the month Aaron lived. I tend to turn into a bit of a grouch and hermit when May comes around. First, there is Mother's Day. That day in and of itself is a hurtle for me. Josh and I have made it out tradition to go to a baseball game. It is a nice day for us and away from much of the traditional Mother's Day activities. Unfortunately, our OWN mother's and grandmother's get ignored a bit, but they have been willing to make that sacrifice for us.
So, this year my counselor (therapist?) wants me to work on NOT turning into a hermit and NOT talking so negatively to myself. So I am going to do that. I love this therapist and she really helped me have the best Christmas in YEARS this year. I am going to put my trust in her and do what she asks and hope I don't turn into a grumpy hermit. A big part of it is we are so busy and then May comes and everything stops and it's already a not so great month....so there is a natural let down in our lives that goes right along with a mental let down. So the plan is to schedule activities and make sure we go and do some things with friends.
