Where were you tens years ago.....

...today? I remember very clearly what transpired that day for me. I had just woken up to get ready for work, my husband of ONE month (exactly) and I turned on the news to check out the weather, etc., and could not believe our eyes. In horror, we watched the news of the twin towers being struck by a plane, then the other, then the pentagon, then heard of the plane going down in PA......it was absolutely unbelievable. Unbelievable. Unreal. Our workplace was closed down for the day, much like the rest of the U.S. As we spent the day absorbing the news, loving and appreciating what we had, taking it all in, pondering the repercussions of these violent actions taken against our nation...what we going to happen next? Who did this? Why? Why? Why? Then to be at war for the past ten years....and here we are today, as if it happened just yesterday. We will never forget, I will never forget. It is a moment in time, that will forever be embedded in my mind. I am thankful to be here, in this wonderful and free country.....I am thankful for my loved ones, and that I have a small piece of the world with a roof over my head, and a beautiful family, all thanks to our troops protecting and serving us. For that, I am forever grateful....so, I will take a moment of silence today, at 9:11PM, PST, to say a little prayer and light a candle as a small token of appreciation......
