It all started 6 years ago today

I can't believe that "9/11" was 6, count 'em, SIX years ago! A Tuesday, in fact!
Some memories of that day are still so vivid, and so painful. I still hurt for the families that have to wait until the hereafter to see their loved ones again. The children that were born AFTER their fathers were killed, who only know the stories that are told of those heroes.

It has been 6 years, and I am just barely getting to where I can watch the news and not have a crying fest every time. For most of the last six years, I have avoided news broadcasts as much as I possibly could, because after 09/11/2001, I cried for 7 days straight, watching all that stuff on the news.

Regardless of political views or religious zealousy, that day was a tragic loss of lives. It is sad to me that it took that kind of travesty to bring strangers together in unity of purpose. And, too bad that it disappeared after a year.

I will probably never understand the justification of mass murder in the name of God. All I can do is my best to be kind to others and help my family to make this world a better place.

Perpetually tired . . . and not in a good way!

It has been a couple of weeks since I've posted . . . and not that anything major has happened, just too busy to post, and now feeling guilty for not posting! How's that for an explanation?

Since my at work accident of 08/09/07, I have been going to physical therapy 3 times a week. Then, the doctor added occupational therapy for my wrist and hand, and so today I have 2 sessions of therapy, and next week, I have some sort of therapy EVERY day! That's some fun scheduling, let me tell you!! Not to mention that physical pain, and kicking my own butt doing the therapy, are very tiring!

And, the two jobs thing is ANYTHING but exciting!! I got burn out going on, and I've only been at this for 2 months! AAAAACK -- I must be getting old! And then, to add to my guilt, on my days off from said 2nd job, I don't feel like doing anything but relaxing . . . not too productive, I tell ya! Where is my favorite hobby time? Where is my hangin' out with the neices and nephews time? (I'll save the latest family drama for another day -- it's all too tiring!!)
