I turned on my t.v. this morning intending to watch all the 9/11 specials that were on today. After about 2 minutes I turned it off. The channel I had turned on was doing a story on 9/11 mothers and I just couldn't watch. For me, it is still too much. 5 years hasn't done much to dim the horror of that day in my mind. If I had left the t.v. on I would have been sucked into that overwhelming grief that I feel whenever I think about 9/11 and the terrorists would have had a small victory once again.
Instead, I spent the day with my mother and my son. We did some very "American" things. We went out to lunch at the Cracker Barrel. Then we went to Wal-Mart (does it get much more "American" than Wal-Mart?) We shopped, we laughed, we covered the baby with hugs and kisses and we celebrated being alive and free in the U.S.A.! Take that Al-Queda!
And tonight, I will say a very special prayer for all those who are still grieving and whose lives were changed forever. May God bless them and their families.

I get cold chills every time I see that second plane slam into that tower. The people that did that are cowards in te biggest sense of the word. The people in those towers never did anything to hurt you! You wanna fight? Come out and let's do it man to man!! We'll kick your butts so fast, you'll be seeing your 72 virgins(so you think) in no time! We have problems just like other countries, but there is nothing better than living in America! God Bless Our Troops!!!
