It is the 10-year anniversary of 9/11 at Ground Zero today. I wish I were in back in the city to honor 9/11. A friend on facebook posted this in her status: Times of impact: 8:46 a.m. and 9:02 a.m. Time the burning towers stood: 56 minutes and 102 minutes. Time they took to fall: 12 seconds. 2819 dead from 115 different nations. 343 Fireman/paramedics, 23 NYPD, 37 Port Authority officers.

Everyone will always remember exactly what they where doing the day of 9/11. I was living in Chicago; walking sleepily down a street to buy a cup of coffee and get some air to clear my head when I heard the news on a street workers radio. I rushed back to wake my roommate sleeping in our condo and we sat in front of the TV with our mouths open. We spent the rest of the day feeling numb, drawing, really the only thing I remember doing was walking to the lakeside in need of air (the day of 9/11 is a blur.) I hope one of these days to reconnect with the person I spent this day with.

I'm not so sure how this weekend is going to go with good old Maria on it's way. I'm not a fan of rainy days, hurricane preparation, loss of power, nothing to do but swat mosquitoes because there's nothing better to do... yes, friends there are some not so pretty sides to living in paradise. Really I'd like to get on a flight and check into a luxury hotel with an oversized bathtub and read a book. Instead I'm trying to make the most of a rainy day and get caught up on all the office work I have. I've even started looking through my old photographs that I made back in college and remembering that I was once an artist; maybe I'll start sharing some of my art here on this blog.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend with or without a potential hurricane!!




... to the most amazing woman I know - my Mom!!!!
Wishing her the best year yet! Now that you're all moved into your fancy new home, what are you going to wish for this year?!
I love you Mom!!!
Make a wish...
