I am nearing my 3rd anniversary. My first one was by far the hardest. I took the day off work with the idea of doing something fun for myself; however, this did not happen. I was so anxious the night before about the coming day, that I didn't get any sleep and spent the next day sleeping. The second one and my upcoming third one, I felt like celebrating my life. I took the day off again (and will this time too) and had a day of personal celebration and pampering. It was fun. It has become such a deal to me that I have convinced a friend to be a work skipper and party with me on what I call "Survivor Day."

Believe me, it does get easier.
