this day brings up so many emotions, tears, thoughts. i never want to forget some of these feelings - unity, compassion, support. i want to forget the others - fear, anger, sorrow.

this is a day to remember the lives lost, the survivors that live with this memory and the first responders that give of themselves everyday for our security.

i read my blog post from 2 years ago this morning and i thought i would share it again today.

i will never forget.

wishing you a peaceful day.

quiet moment

sometimes this is the only quiet i will know in the day.
before the chaos.
the business of life.
the needs that must be met.
the stillness of this moment will energize me for hours.
i can breathe
and think
and plan.
it is never wasted.
and it is always good.
it is brief.
it doesn't carry burdens.
or judgments.
or things gone wrong.
it is bright.
hopeful.
and filled with possibility.
and then it's over.
that quiet little moment.
