Birthdays are a little overrated. I’ve never met anyone who was more than a passive participant in their birth, but anniversaries represent a choice.
Every year, we can commemorate a commitment we made and then decide to recommit.
Anniversaries aren’t just romantic. The day you took the job, the day you started the practice, the day you went out on your own, the founding date on the masthead. Anything you chose and then keep choosing has one. The calendar is full of invitations to re-decide.
A chance to celebrate the past and to imagine what comes next.
An anniversary is worth celebrating because of what we’re agreeing to do again.
