You may not feel very at-one with the world at the start of April. You may even feel a need to depart from your norm in terms of food and other activities, but do try to accommodate loved ones as well. Don’t fall into the trap of feeling you have to make a great impression around the 11th and 12th of the month, quite simply, you don’t!
There’s certainly a very hectic flavor to the middle of the month, this is a time where distant relatives could turn up out-of-the-blue, or family announcements could be made. That said; any surprises are likely to be neutral at worst. It’s far more likely that the surprises are actually quite positive, welcome ones.
