    It is Beanie..and there are so many people who know someone who was in or relative/friends of someone affected by the death of a person in the tower. Some of my parents friends were living in new york just down from the towers when it happened.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Becky and Linda - It never fails to amaze me how generous some people are on here!! :T

    Ames if I was closer I'd help - I really would.

    DDs both enjoyed school today, both looking forward to tomorrow which is fab.

    I've let everything get on top of me today and had a good cry, a good half of a tub of celebrations and a bottle of wine :rolleyes:

    Tomorrow will be better.

    Far better than bottling it all up Pooks! Does you good to get it all out of your system.

    Watched another 9/11 programme last night Beanie, all about the last phone calls made by those who died in the towers. Sad but inspiring at the same time.
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    I wanted to watch it but thought I'd end up a jibbering wreck.

    I thought so too Pooky, but it was told in such a way that I was ok. Hearing the actual calls was quite harrowing tho. I felt almost voyeuristic (sp??) as if I were intruding in their grief.

    i passed my driving test 2 days after 911.... which i know sounds really trivial, but it's my abiding memory..........

    erin was only a baby so i guess i was quite self absorbed....

    i remember being shocked but it was a million miles away from my life and my sphere of reference... it's only later that you kinda grasp the enormity of it all......

    never knew anyone with any direct links though, thankfully....
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....
