Remembering, Learning, Aging

Today is 9/11. This life we live in is just an insane adventure. I would just like to say that. Up and down, life and death, tragedies and accomplishments. And every other single event inbetween. There are times that I just get so wrapped up in my world ungratefully complaining, talking about nonsense, taking my life for granted. Then days like today hit me square in the face. I need that. Today it is the 12th anniversary since 9.11. The day that we will always take a moment and just literally remember. I specifically think about the families that lost someone. The ones who are left each year reliving it. I definitely remember to add them to my prayers on this day. Forever changing our country. The old days are gone. Easy airports, New York City, mostly everything about our country was altered that day. Weird to think and about and to the core crazy it went down like that. Honoring the people who had any part on this day is the smallest act of gratitude I could possibly do. Yes.. I will for the rest of my life take 9.11 to remember.

Also on this day 80 years ago my Grandmother, my mothers mother was born. 80 years old. We will all get there. God willing of course. This one lady is such a piece of our family puzzle. She is my Panamanian Grandma and I think 80 years of having her a part of this world is definitely worth celebrating. We will be having a bash for sure.

What a day today was.. remembering, reflecting and appreciating where I am and who is around. I am not getting any younger, time seems to be winning as usual so days like this are good for me. They shake me back to the real world and make me refocus my energy on what this deal is all about. Theres alot happening in this world and under this roof itself.. theres some magic brewing, blessed.
