Thoughts on today
When I woke up this morning & got to work, the events of 8 yrs ago did not occur to me. Then, when I realized the significance of the date, I felt a little guilty - but should I have?
We were all affected by the events of 9/11. Everyone has their story of "where they were". Many unfortunate few were more affected than the rest of us, either through a loss of their life, or the loss of a loved one - or maybe even just the loss of someone they knew through their grandmother's 2nd cousin. No one can deny, however, that we all felt it, and continue to feel it.
But at what point do we cross the chasm between Remembrance and Reopening Wounds? As with any significant loss in one's life, for the most part, the pain gradually ebbs and the living takes over. For those who have tried to get busy living over the last 8 years, if you wake up on a significant anniversary & don't immediately remember, is that a good thing?
