It amazes me how human senses affect our emotions and perceptions so unexpectedly. How a song, a place, a sight, sound or date instantly transports our mind to another moment in time. Triggering memories and emotions... good or bad. Maybe bringing us peace and comfort...or anxiety and pain. I have several of those triggers I deal with. But October 17 is probably the big one. It triggers all of those emotions in me. Doesnt really matter why. Its not really important to anyone but me. But I have found my anxiety level creeping up as that date crawls nearer, although it is still nearly two months away. But its just a day on the calendar. And I find myself feeling kind of silly for feeling so much angst over it. Yet, I do. Its just really strange how such little things can so profoundly affect our thoughts and behavior.
