Last year I was a mess around this time and throughout the year.
This year I found someone to whom I can talk during the anniversary time.
This helps.
She gave me a book to read as well.
I need to be pushed to read a book, because I still cannot focus.
My thoughts are everywhere and then the inevitable flashbacks occur.
She gave me a time frame for the book to read. I am somehow under pressure to read it. That is the only way I will read that book.
On the day I will have to get out of the house and distract myself.
I thought of a lot of options and none attracts me.
Maybe I should just walk out of the house and keep walking regardless, with a walking stick in my bag, just in case.
