Both the mister and I are news junkies...that is to say, we have to watch the news at least once, if not more, each day and preferably first thing in the morning and last thing at night. We like to know what's going on in the world and especially in our neck of the woods. Today, however, September 11th, I deliberately did not turn on the news. I don't need to see the Twin Towers falling down, or the Pentagon on fire or the burned field in Pennsylvania or firemen erecting our flag on top of the ruins to remind me of what our country and we as Americans went through thirteen years ago. My heart aches, as I know yours does, when I think about the events of 9/11, and the scenes from that day will forever be etched in my mind. September 11th is now a day to remember, not just the horror, but the good that our country is and does and continues to do and not just for us, its citizens but for so many around the world. Today is also a day for action...a day to help someone, to reach out, to uplift, to show that we care. It feels good to serve and today, of all days, who couldn't use a feel good moment? I was a proud American on September 10th, 2001, and even more proud on September 11th, 2001, and every day since. Just my two cents...
God Bless America
