HAVE TO KEEP TRACK OF APRIL DATES ON iPAD (BTW THIS IS NOT A POSED SHOT) |
April 2012 was a month of celebrations, commemorations, anniversaries, birthdays, appointments, opening days, concert tours, parades... It was epic. April's important dates were so numerous that anytime I was asked to do something, I would stop and say, "No, I think I am busy." Then I would realize that though April 15 was the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, I was still free (not booked on the commemorative voyage) this same confusion happened quite often. A date would sound familiar. Oh, I must have an appointment. I would check my schedule. Tricked again. I was remembering someone's anniversary, birthday or Bruce's concert dates.
MY PARENTS' WEDDING ANNIVERSARY IS APRIL 24 |
Wedding anniversaries- In the last week of April I know of 8 couples celebrating anniversaries, that includes us. The royal couple, Kate and William, share April 29 with my nephew Tim and wife Grace, who picked that date way before the royals did....Theirs will always be just as royal.
Death anniversaries- popular belief is that folks pass away in greater numbers in the spring. In the month of
April many friends commemorated death anniversaries. My father's was in there also- April 30.
Then there were very public anniversaries of beginnings, endings

GOTTA WATCH MY BACK, "REVENGE" IS SCARY |
I mentioned this April thing in my Meditation class and was offered an explanation. Here it is. One's energy attracts others with similar life event dates, so since I have April anniversaries, I have connected with other Aprils. It is some sort of karmic universe thing. These ideas often float out after my yoga and meditation classes and I seize them as the truth for me, since empirical data does not support My Big April phenomenon.
In my research for this story-that would be googling online- I found that August and September are still the two top baby birth months (April not close) January is the #1death month (April not mentioned), June still most popular wedding month (April # 9)
The following article is about wedding months-http://kenlovephotography.com/?p=13224
There is nothing to show that April is trending.
I know April will continue to expand with important dates (for me, anyway). I am fine with it. I accept that I am an April magnet.
IS APRIL OVER? I HAVE TO CATCH UP ON MY READING |
This really expands April: According to their license, Donna and Curly were married on April 31. Inevitably, this would come up around every anniversary celebration, usually in the form of my mother asking, “Do you think we’re legally married?” She would pretend to be joking, but I know it was a nagging little worry for her. (It didn’t help that her birth certificate listed her name as “Donald”. Seriously.) Over time I've developed my own version of the legal marriage question—not as a worry, more as a loophole: “It was hot—it was August, for Pete’s sake!—and the officiant was wearing a brown corduroy suit! Clearly, deranged! How can the marriage be valid?!” You were there, Carol. What do you think?!
ReplyDeletecorduroy! love the swish of that.
DeleteNancy,
ReplyDeleteSeriously, this is really howlingly funny-I say that because my hound (Liam) insists on that adverb(?) and it is his blog.
April 31, Donald....
I had my own problems with my Spanish dress which I had no business wearing. I was in and out of the City Hall bathroom adjusting-off shoulder, on shoulder etc...I am told April and August have an affinity in the universe
Great. I'll add that to my argument: "And it turns out, one of the witnesses wasn't even paying attention!"
ReplyDeleteyes, that can now be part of the story
