Remembering

 Today’s Two Cents Tuesday is about remembrance.

 It’s 9/11.  And we all know what that means.  It’s a sad day for our country and a day we will never forget. 

As a writer and a happiness guide, my skills fall short today.  Because words, although beautiful and healing, can never completely capture the pain or provide relief for an event this big.  All I can do, we can do, is be kind to one another today – to let our hearts be our guide, to use a hug as expression.

It is our duty as a nation to remember those we lost and this horrible day in our history.  Not as a way to keep us in pain or in a state of anger, but as a pathway to hope and forgiveness.  To let this day be a reminder that we are meant to be vessels of love and compassion, not intolerance and violence.

We can’t change what happened that September day, but we can always remember and honor those who died and those who fought through the endless days of recovery.  We can treat each other with the respect each of us deserves.  And we can create a future that is filled with joy and happiness for generations to come – so that we will never have to live through this again.

We have the power to do that – by always remembering. – BB
