A picked the perfect day to stay home from work.  For one thing, it was absolutely beautiful outside.  I left the house at 10AM and didn’t return home until 9PM.Being outside and out of work was good since I am baring a heavy heart today.  There are a couple of things that are weighing it down right now but the anniversary of 9/11 has really added to it. Spending time alone,out and about gave me time to think and pray about a few of things.

I was watching the Today show this morning as they were reliving what happened.  I was literally sick to my stomach as I was sobbing.  Every time I watch those planes hit and see those towers crumble I feel as though those poor people are dying over and over again.  It’s completely heartbreaking.  A friend of mine has posted pictures of memorials for his brother who died that day.    Another friend who died that day is honored annually with a golf tournament; he was a firefighter.  It’s comforting to know that so many people are honoring them and holding true to their promise to never forget.

I was able to spend some time with a sweet, funny, crazy, “spoiled brat” today.  We had such a nice time and a good long talk.  She and her family are leaving town next week.  We became close when we realized how much we have in common; I’m really going to miss her L  But…I am looking forward to another night out with her and the rest of our Boot Camp group.

I’ve been praying for many things lately; my most important request is for the peace and comfort for a sweet child who is fighting for her life. Although I know of many who are praying for her, I’m afraid that it just won’t be enough, but keep praying, we will because I believe in miracles...

I’m hoping to release some of this heavy heartedness I have during my run tomorrow morning.  I can’t wait to do it!  My legs are feeling so much better today; so much so that I seriously considered running this morning but I knew the best thing was to do as I was told and wait until Saturday.  After the run it’s off to Edisto for the afternoon then back home to clean up then head out with some great people who, will undoubtedly, make me smile.
