September 11--We Can Still Celebrate

There must always remain in every life, some place for the singing of angels, some place for that which in itself is breathless and beautiful. — Howard Thurman

    I know this is a day of mourning for so many Americans, the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. I grieve every act of violence perpetrated on my fellow humans. 

    However, I choose to celebrate on this day, because it is my grandson's first birthday, and he was born on the birthday of his great-grandmother, Madeline, my mother. 

    Despite the tragedy of 9/11, many, many beautiful things came of it. Let us join with the angels in celebrating those.
