Instead of thinking you are lost, I believe you are simply watching yourself unfold in the way you are suppose to unfold in your very own way.

I can't imagine what it would have been like standing right THERE next to it as it fell!

It's that simple. There is no need to get nasty and unhinged. If the frequency of her 9/11 posts bothers you, stop reading the blog. It's that simple. There is no need to get nasty and unhinged.

Generally i don't think about it but on the anniversary, i find myself paralyzed for most of the morning. maybe it is post traumatic stress- maybe not but i know that my husband and i changed our entire lives as a result of that day. we left the washington area and moved to the midwest. i no longer feel scared for my family and for myself but it takes very little to bring me back to that moment. you captured so many of my same thoughts – i was not in New York but i was on a plane flying out of Washington DC and my husband was in Washington D.C. at a meeting.

Watching lives unfold, and Become, what,as Paul Coelho conveys in The Alchemist, as our own Personal Legends, is truly one of the greatest blessings of all. I have 3 teenage children, and I marvel each and every day at what they reveal to me;of who they are, who they aren't,and who their trying to avoid becoming. I marvel at myself and my husband as we grow and change in this tumultuous time, trying to become the parents we'd want to have if we were them. I marvel each day at what my dog and cat have to teach me; about themselves, about me and about just how much more alike we are than different. As I send kids off to college now, I marvel at what more I'll become, at how our marriage will grow and change as our roles change, and I'll try to do it all with faith. The unknown, and the known, can be tricky little buggers to navigate, but in the end, Life is still a mystery, and although I wasn't ever a Nancy Drew Fan, I do like to see what the Master Weaver has up it's infinite sleeve, and I'll marvel at it as it unfolds, because, that's My own Personal Legend, and the universe is conspiring to create it, after all,uniquely for me. The least I can do is embrace it. Thank you for this candid post.

Then why do you keep writing about it all the time? STFU! By the way, I don't for a minute believe you were there. If you could, you'd try to convince people you were at the Kennedy assassination too. You just love attention, no matter how much you have to lie to get it. > Mostly, I don’t think about 9/11 anymore.

I experienced something traumatic this spring. I hope that I find the benefit from this. I know that I'm trying to take care of myself and my family better since this tragedy. I'm especially trying to take better care of myself, which lends itself to taking better care of my family. This tragedy has caused me to reevaluate things and want to change certain things but I live in fear of making the wrong decisions. Thanks for this post.
