I've mentioned before how - day-to-day, yes, but especially while pregnant - I should absolutely NOT listen to sad music, watch sad movies/tv shows, think about anything sad, etc. because once the waterworks start, there's no stopping them.
And today is 9/11. I refuse to watch the news. I refuse to listen to the radio. I refuse to open a newspaper/news website. I just don't think I can handle the images from 10 years ago.
I was sitting in Environmental Science when it happened. I remember walking into class and the TV being on - which it wasn't usually - and we all just stood there as the planes crashed into the buildings over and over again in slow motion, smoke billowing, and my classmates gasping each time.
So today, I plan to honor those lives we lost by being grateful for the life I have and those who have fought for (and are still fighting for) our freedom in order for me to live this life.
