I played along with the tag thingy too.....I'm in a bit of a slump creativity wise....I think I usually am at this time of the year. The object of this tag thing is go back into your archives.....all the way back to your 23rd entry, find the 5th sentence and post it.
My 23rd entry was about all the lives that were changed and all the lives that were lost that day on September 11, 2001. My 5th line was as follows..............
"It took living one day at a time to move on with my life, to live it for those that could no longer live theirs."
What a shame it would have been for me to give up and give into the terror that almost swallowed me whole that day. I thought it shattered my happily ever after attitude, because I thought as long as I was on American soil, I would be safe from what so many people in other countries experience on a daily basis.....fear, terror, war, destruction, ect. Then it hit me....I had to keep living the American dream for all those that no longer could, with that little bit of purpose, I was able to have hope again, able to start living again, instead of being........ one of the walking wounded.

I swear this tag thing is going around the world! That was a day that none of us alive that day will ever forget. Sandi
Everyone is doing it! Lets all go jump off a bridge!
Seriously though I think you're right. They killed people, but they did not kill what those Americans stood for. Its still happening day after day, one small step at a time.

Shoot em all and let God sort them our. Just kidding!! As we grow old we should all get stronger in Spirit and realize we don't live in a perfect world. Not even in the USA
what I can't believe is that I was so surprised, like I thought there was some magic sheild over this country jsut because it was America!
