However it cannot be compared with the fear of those people being there at the moment... Penelope, the last passage made me cry. You're damn right, we cant think of the current day as the last one, long and happy future is awaiting us for sure!

There's a 9/11 history project somewhere online that compiled our memories of that day (I was in D.C.) ... yours belongs on that website. I've read (and written/edited) a lot about that day ... and the Newseum has a really moving section/film devoted to it... your blog post belongs in it somehow. I stumbled on your blog and am just now poking around because I loved your career advice and it's relevent to my job. I can tell I'm going to be a fan.

But this is my first time here and I read this post. I just wanted to let know that I was really touched by this – thanks for sharing it. Our capacity as human being beings to go through and survive the worst trauma and hardships, and rise from all that - is simply amazing. Things that we encounter in our lives make us see and appreciate our lives from a new angle. I really like your blog – will be reading it regularly. Best, Nikki Hi Penelope,

I know this is WAY late.

It's an unfortunate fact of life that we don't really see what's most important to us until the moment it's gone. Whenever I read stories like this it makes me think about my own life and what I could really do to maximise what I have and what's important to me. A very moving story.

I tell people that "it beats being unemployed." I'd rather suffer through a bad day than not have a job to go to daily. I saw my father unemployed as a kid and it sucked the life right out of him, as he was too old to find a job that paid enough to support his family as not many want a man over 50 to hire when they can hire someone much younger for less. When I think like that, these trials and tribulations seem small. That reminds me of days at work when I hate my job. I tell people that "it beats being unemployed."
