July 17th is just another day, like all other days. Make the most of it.
coach is right on this. i went through my anniversary alone about a month ago. it came. it went. just another day. and at the end if the day, i completely forgot it was my anniversary.
the key to it was not planning anything special. don't talk yourself into going out to a fancy restaurant. planning stuff around the "anniversary" makes things worse, imo.
