Woke up this morning at 9:00am and wondered what it would have been like living on the west coast (now, as I do) 10 years ago today. As I looked at the alarm clock and remembered the date, I thought — wow it’s already noon over there on the east and here I am still groggy and getting my mind right.
10 years ago today, most west coasters would be waking up 3 hours behind, turning on the news only to get all the gory details in one shot.
Not sure what that means, but I think being in the north east during that day, when every piece of information was coming in as real-time chaos and all the horrific details were unfolding before your very eyes — personally I feel that it makes the memory all the more searing.
Salute the everyday heroes, remember the victims, honor their families and remind yourself to appreciate every moment that life gives. #911
