There and Back, #5

[SallyM]

I can't help but reflect on 9/11. Amazing that it was 6 years ago - it's one of the few events in my life that I remember practically every moment of as clearly as if it was yesterday.

I've been sitting and thinking about what happened, about how so many lives changed forever.

I am tempted to get angry at H, at how casually he has thrown away our lives together, how poorly he has treated me. I want to yell and scream at him, I want to throw things at him.

but then I think of all of the people who lost their lives, or lost their loved ones, on this day, and I realize how petty I sound. if my husband no longer loving me is the worst tragedy I should ever face, well, I am damned lucky. I am. so instead of continuing to wallow, I'm going to give thanks for the love I do have in my life. I know I say that from time to time. I think I did even earlier today. I need to tatoo it on my brain, so every time I get into these funks I remember just how good I have it.
