"Could you see it like me and believe what I see? Could you listen and remember that I love you? Because I told you, because I told you so" Jonatha Brooke
Remember when 9/11 was just another day? It's hard to believe that it was two years ago that the terrorist attacks hit. I remember just sitting on my couch crying and watching TV. It was like I couldn't do anything else.
It makes all of my little trials seem pretty miniscule in comparison. Makes me feel a little self-centered and shallow when I think about what I have - what I've been given. I don't have much to complain about or worry about.
It's important to remember. And it's important to realize that we, as people, are given a great capacity for healing, we are resilient, we are adaptable and we can move forward in the face of adversity - great or small. We just have to be open to it.
I know that when I simply grab on to those strongholds in my life - my faith, my family, my friends - it makes everything a little more bearable. Sometimes all I can do is put one foot in front of the other, but some days that's all I'm asked to do.
I'm on vacation in sunny Florida starting tomorrow, so updates will be few & far between until I'm back in Nashville.
Keep on living... keep on loving... Keep on keeping on.
