A Normal Day

Today was a normal day. My alarm went off at 5:10, I snoozed for 10  minutes, woke up, got ready, drank my coffee on my same drive to work, got there with a few minutes to spare. Enjoyed my day with my clients, worked out, went home, baked, cooked, walked the dogs, and did all my normal things.

Today is September 11, 2013. And my day 12 years ago was also just a normal day. I woke up, had peanut butter toast for breakfast, drove to my early morning class at the high school (senior year), went to my first hour class and the rest is blurry. I sat with my classmates all day watching the tv coverage of the terrorist attack of 9/11. I remember going to church that night for a service and feeling so sick about what happened. 

Tomorrow will be a normal day, Friday will be a normal day. But for those who lost their lives on 9/11 and those who are still suffering, we owe it to them to have a not normal day. We owe it to them to take a few moments each day to be extra grateful for what we have, we owe it to them to hug our loved ones a little extra, to give our pets an extra rub and hug, we owe it to them to try our hardest at everything we do.

Life was never the same after 9/11. Many things changed. But how will your tomorrow change? Will it be just a normal day?? 

My friend Chris posted this article on facebook about the four legged hero's of 9/11. Please take a moment and check it out.
