wow. I was working as per usual...and walked out into the xray waiting area to get a patient...saw the tv screen and watched a plane fly into the  WTC 1...thought it was a joke or some really cool special effects for a movie...but then to my horror i realized this was happening in real time! then...the second plane struck. suddenly it seemed that the entire hospital grew quiet. *it did*. my first thoughts were of my kids...in school...and all the what if's that go thru your mind when horror strikes...even if it was states away. my second thought was of my Brother in law Jerry...he worked inside one of the two towers. for several days after...we were unable to reach him by cell. we had no idea if he was alive.  *he wasnt in the buildings...but was walking to them on his way to work that morning*

needless to say the rest of the week and sometime there after were spent in a state of sadness for all who lost their lives...and those who were helping find the survivors. It was a truly sad day in the history of the USA and the world.  Sadly...events such as this continue to occur around the world...and while they make me sad...i realize there isnt much i can do to stop them from happening.

I go on with my life. as puny as my life is...i live it to what i consider the fullest. ya just never know what may happen.
