I turned on the TV this morning and was overcome with that sinking feeling of the remembrance that 7 years ago today it appeared as though the world was coming to an end. I'll keep this short because I am a firm believer in looking towards the future and living life rather than looking back on it. That day marked a kind of downward spiral in my life for probably the next 5 years or so; it was the first time I truly understood that I was not invincible, and neither was anybody else. I watched as much as I could this morning of the 9/11 Tribute this morning while I got ready for work and I found it very touching that each person who lost their life on that day was remembered individually, rather than grouped together as they so often are. New Yorkers were eerily quiet on my commute to work this morning, and I don't doubt the same thing was on each and every person's mind. I hope none of us ever forget that day, but more importantly, that we all continue living despite the fears or sadness that day brought into our lives.
