While dropping my kids off at school this morning I was listening to the radio. The topic of course was 9/11, but it was a little different. They asked listeners what they were thankful for now, that they didn’t realize before 9/11. I thought, wow what a great way to remember the day and those who were lost, and turn it into something positive. Not just reliving the events of that day over and over…like I’m guilty of in my previous post.
So I thought, what am I thankful for that I didn’t realize until 9/11 happen?
#1 Life, because it is so fragile
#2 My families health and safety
#3 The amazing troops and their families who give so much for our freedom
#4 Being a citizen of a country where I can share my thoughts without worry of being thrown in jail, and I can practice my beliefs without fear of death.
Now I am no fool and know our country is far from perfect, but I also know how blessed we are to wake up every morning and be free. My eyes start to fill when I think of all the people (past, present, and yes even future) who won’t get to experience this. How can people be so cruel to one another?
After that day in 2001, all I wanted was ‘justice’. But at the time I really meant revenge. I do believe that people willing to do such evil and unthinkable things should be brought to justice and stopped…but not at the cost of us losing ourselves. I think back to a great quote for the late Martin Luther King Jr., “Darkness can not drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate can not drive out hate; only love can do that.”.
What powerful words. So I believe I am alive today to spread love, not hate, and to be the light in a dark world. And #5 I am thankful for that.

I rarely drop responses, however I read a few of the
responses on this page How I've changed after 9/11 – Lady D Speaks.
I do have a few questions for you if it’s okay. Could it be just me
or do some of the comments appear like they are written by brain dead folks?
😛 And, if you are posting on other online social sites, I would like to keep up
with you. Could you post a list of the complete urls of
all your social networking pages like your twitter feed, Facebook
page or linkedin profile?
Thanks for the interest. Drop me a line anytime 🙂

First of all I would like to say terrific blog!
I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
I was interested to know how you center yourself and
clear your thoughts prior to writing. I have had trouble clearing my mind in getting my
ideas out there. I do enjoy writing however it just seems like
the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions
or hints? Thank you!
