I wasn't going to do a Sept. 11 blog, but going through the memorials seems silly if we don't take anything from it.
Five random things to keep in mind as the world continues to turn. I’m as guilty as the next guy at forgetting, but they seemed important, so I thought I’d write them down and share:
The sacrifices that the first responders made are unbelievable. These are every day heroes. Period.
Remember our armed forces. These men and women show unbelievable bravery in the face of imminent danger. While we may not always agree with the politician that put them somewhere, these soldiers are busy protecting our way of life no matter what. For that they deserve our admiration and gratitude.
Keep the sense of community alive. This unspeakable tragedy made us want to change. It made us want to bring a little good to the world. This is a feeling that should be called on again and again.
For weeks, we were afraid to peel our eyes away from the television news. Something else might happen. The 24 hour cable news channels thrive now because of it. We still owe it to ourselves to pay attention. Stay up with current events.
Live every day like it may be your last. If you need to get somewhere across the country, fly. Travel hard. Go to the major sporting event no matter the threat level. Shop. Add to the economy. Keep our way of life.
