…on September 11, 2001?
A friend of mine and I were talking, just as so many others are this day, about where we were and what we were doing on that fateful day that our country was so brutally violated.
As we looked back with sadness, we wondered what the brave men and women who died that day, if given the chance, would have done different the last month, week, day of their lives. Then we asked ourselves what would we do different today if we knew next week would be our last.
Would I worry about how the house looked? Would I be sad that I never wore that new outfit I was saving for something special? Would I sigh with frustration when my DH or the boys asked me to come into the other room so they could show me something (for the upteemph time)? Would I make those calls to my friends and family I keep putting off?
I believe, that from now on, I will do my best to enjoy each day, each minute of the rest of my life.
My thoughts and prayers today to the families of the victims of 9-11-01.
