This is not going to be a regular blog, but a blog that is very important to make to reflect. Ten years ago on 9/11/2001, we had our biggest and greatest loss of life due to a terrist attack in the US. Thousands of people lost their lives who were in the towers, emergency response teams, police, fire department .. all those people who risked their lives for complete strangers who also lost their lives. This day is ten years removed from it .. it may seem like a long time ago but there are people who are still affected by it ... especially NYC. Our nation has never been the same afterwards .. its not all for the bad .. but also for the good as well .. we realize that we need to cherish family members a little bit more .. but to also recognize that it was a real threat to our country. With the new memorial that is built for the commemoration, this will fill a void in NYC and country as well ...
It was hard for me to watch the 9/11 broadcast today while on the treadmill at the gym. This just makes me realize to cherish life .. and never give up on any hope .. and know that things will get better.
I was also listening to Pandora as I was running and this song by Kris Allen - Live Like We're Dying happened to come on. While listening closely to the lyrics the song talks about not taking life for granted and living each day to the fullest. To love the one you're with and make sure you appreciate them. And that your life could end at any given moment so don't waste any second .. and the idea that you should make sure the person you are with knows how much they mean to you.
My thoughts go out to all the people that died and have lost a loved one in these attacks.
Keep Your Head Up !
profound!
