Remembering 9/11

Yes, its 9/11/09, eight years since the terrorist attacks on America. Remember them, then LIVE LIFE.

Do good for others. Don't waste, fight or gossip. Be positive and live today in honor of those who cannot be here. People all over the world die from terrorism, but even more from starvation, disease and AIDS. Think of them as well. We are all on this planet together. We should not only remember our own dead, but all who have died unnecessarily, untimely and painfully.

Let's educate our young to be compassionate, good and kind. Encourage them to be helpful, appreciative, conscientious, unselfish and supportive. Be a positive example to them and above all show them love - in its purest form.

And today..... LIVE!

Enjoy nature on this beautiful day. Really notice the environment around you. Pick up random trash when you see it, make the world that much nicer. Smell flowers, greet and pet dogs on the street. Say hello and smile at strangers, especially those you know others would ignore.

Pet and brush your own pets. Water your garden, keep the tv off and spend quality time with your kids or other family. Hugs are important in any close relationship - don't forget them.

Eat only in moderation so you can fully enjoy the flavors, textures and aromas. Think of how fortunate you are to be able to do so.

Donate to the food banks. Donate blood, or make an appointment to do so. Visit an animal shelter and ask what you might do to help today.

You never know which day will be your last, so live, and live thankfully.
