Month of May is here but...

HAVE TO KEEP TRACK OF APRIL DATES ON iPAD (BTW THIS IS NOT A POSED SHOT)

I am not through with April yet. It may take a while to recover from the enormity and scope of  important April dates. 

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

Birthdays-almost every day was a birthday of someone I knew. April 29, the biggest day, followed by April 24 (includes-Kiera Grace my great niece) then April 15.
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

Last night we were watching our addictive show "Revenge" whose premise is a daughter seeking to avenge the murder of her father, David Clarke. Last night we learned his date of death- April 22.  I know that I will now incorporate this into my April dates and think I must visit the cemetery on April 22. Also, a new character was introduced-Aunt Carol. Her fake death is 4/24. She alive-hiding in Lancaster PA. Guess that is considered close to death. Hope that is Carol without the "e"

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.
