Thursday next week marks one year since I was hit by a semi trailer at high speed. I somehow walked away, but my car was smooshed and there was a bit of trauma to work through.
I’m not generally one to put too much heed in anniversaries like this, but it’s looming at me a bit. I’m not sure what I should do on the day. Hide inside until it’s over? Do something positive to celebrate that I survived and am mostly ok? Deep clean the house to distract myself?
Am a great believer in the ‘do something positive’ option. But totally understand if you wish to make another choice of action. Bearing in mind that deep cleaning the house could well be something positive as well as distracting, and would free up a weekend to enjoy with no guilts attached. The hide inside option is less desirable imo, as it continues to fuel the trauma memory and reinforces the power it has over you. That is just my opinion though. You do what’s right for you on the day.

I’d buy a cake and snacks and hibernate and cry and watch funny animal videos.
Whatever you decide to do will not be the wrong decision. ♥ & 🫂
Yeah cake helps most things.
With extra cream.
Fark that’s full on. I’m not sure how to celebrate something like that but we’re all certainly glad you walked away from that.

I’m leaning towards treating myself to a spa day. Some nice relaxation. But I’ll give it a few days.
This sounds nice; simple, indulgent and life affirming.
Go for a walk in a beautiful place. Talk with people you love.
