remembering 9/11

last night after i had posted the upcoming weeks events i was doing a little surfing. i realized that today we would be remembering the 5th anniversary of 9/11. a very important event in this week! so i decided it needed it's own post!

it makes me so grateful for the things in life that sometimes we take for granted. everyone leads such busy lives and sometimes those important things get forgotten or put on the back burner for a bit! i'm truely grateful for the family and friends that i have! they are all such a true blessing in my life! i'm grateful for the country that we do live in! we are able to have so many things that we sometimes forget! i'm grateful for the men and women who fight for our country and for their families who are without them! so many things to be grateful for and to take time to remember today!

if we all took a few moments today and thought about the things that happened and how it effected us! if we took the time to say a prayer for the families that had people go through this horrible tragedy! if we took time to be grateful for the things that we have! wow what a difference it would make!

i was having trouble downloading some pictures so i'm just going to leave you with a few links of some photos i found. this one is a memorial page with just a few photos. this one has several other photos of before and after. take a small amount of time today to at least remember what happened 5 years ago and maybe have a moment of silence to be truely grateful for the things that you do have!
