Reflection

Eleven years ago as my first grader was getting ready for school and my baby was drinking a bottle, their world changed, as did all of ours.  Today, they are in their first year of college and sixth grade. We took time this morning to reflect and remember - and to give thanks for our own blessings. 

I do not know the photographer of this image or I would give due credit.  

I was simply struck by the cross between the towers - a powerful image - they were not alone.

There will be many blog posts and facebook messages today about 9/11 - where people were, what they were doing, the innocent lives that were lost, the heroes that emerged. Their words will be eloquent, well written and powerful.   

I simply ask you to find a few moments of quiet today to remember and reflect - and to give thanks for your own blessings.
