calendars

i just glanced at a picture my grandparents gave me of themselves which is accompanied by a calendar and thought, “i should put that on my fridge so i look at it more”. then i thought of how my fridge is already pasted with two small calendars given to me. i began to think of just how many calendars i was given this year, and how that was strange because they were all from different people. also, calendars aren’t exactly the type of gift i usually receive.

 then i thought about how great this year has turned out to be so far. i travelled to central america with a friend, i get to be a bridesmaid for my best friend, and watch her walk down the aisle with a great guy, i got into the teaching program i’ve been working towards for a couple years now, and i met an amazing guy.

now i’m wondering if maybe getting all these calendars was good luck. like “here, take this year in your hand and enjoy it”. or maybe it was more reflective, like, “this is going to be a good year, so here is a commemorative gift to remember it by”.

curious.
