9/11………….20 years later and we are taken back.  Television, social media, personal contact, private memories, all expressions of loss and sorrow and change that are being remembered.  All of you have said it better than I could ever.

So, this time it’s counting the blessings on a dark day of remembering.  It is critical to understand that evil must not win, that the good and precious in our world are ever present, and that each of us bears some responsibility for creating the world we want.  Just one step, one person at a time………………….

BLESSINGS :

…..seasons:  moving from summer to fall, always dependable and appreciated

…..relationships:  perhaps not perfect, but needed and relied on

…..pets:  the ultimate loyalty and love

Your blessings ?  As the hymn says,  ” Name them one by one. “
