September 11

September 11, 2007 7:24 pm

I debated about writing a post today. I debated about putting my thoughts down.  I remember where I was. I remember what class I was in. What I was doing when we were told.  Ensuring that friends were ok. Unable to stop watching the news. Sitting on my back porch weeks afterwards and having anxiety attacks about the planes flying too low.  Extreme sadness for the families who lost loved ones. I had a moment of silence for them today. Then I got to thinking about everyone everywhere (I go downhill fast…with these thoughts).

Needless to say … I was in fine form when I saw my doctor today …

On a neat note … People who know me understand that I have a thing for Starbuck’s mugs.  Well a co-worker just got back from Lebanon and brought me a beautiful mug from a ‘Buck’s there that has a big green spruce tree on it as that is one of the many things they are known for.  I just can’t get a good picture of it.

I know exactly how you feel - I thought I was the only one who had panic attacks every time I saw a low flying airplane. I did “stop thought” and got really good at it in the months following 9/11. Everytime I got panicky I would sing the ABC song in my head. Sounds crazy doesn’t it? But that was pretty much the worst day of my life, except for 9/12 when I found out my friend was on the flight that went into the Pentagon. Its a sad week for me in general.
