Share a photo and try as I may….
Last week, I was pleased to receive an email and photograph from Dinahmow, aka, Idle Thought of an Idle Woman blog author. Last April, she won my blogaverary give-away and promised me a photograph. Months later with cobwebs filling my brain, I was surprised and delighted to hear from her and to place a face to her “name”. She gave me permission to share her photograph provided I keep her true identity a secret!
Meanwhile I was looking forward to having a day in the studio, but was instead enveloped with Steele Elementary School Auction Planning meetings and misc. time fillers. I’ve been a little out of sorts today, and then realized what was bothering me late into the day.
Today is the anniversary of the horrific events of 9/11/01. I didn’t realize it until I clicked on the TV and saw an Oprah special. It may not be popular, but I had recently decided to act as if today is normal. Sometimes, I think the best tribute is to carry on with a sort of joie de vivre; a je ne sais quoi life goes on kind of attitude. But… a part of me knows inherently that 6 years ago today, my life changed irrevocably for the better and worse. Better, because I am doing something new, exciting a fulfilling - worse because so many people died a senseless death. If that day hadn’t happened, I might still be asking you what you wanted to drink on some airplane bound for God knows where and telling you buh-bye as you stepped off at your destination.
I’ll simply reference my post from last year if you care to read about it.
