Sept. 11th

Wow, today has so many meanings to me.

First and foremost, I pause for a moment to remember those who have lost loved ones on this day, for those who shared their lives, and for their friends and family.

Second, I want to thank those who spend their days working to keep our country safe.

Third, I pray for my brother Timothy who, because of this day, is currently in Iraq with the National Guard. I pray for the safe return of he and his troop.

On a more up beat note: Today is the first day of the Scooter Cannonball run. A 10 endurance challenge on a scooter from the West Coast to the East Coast. I will be greeting the riders as they pass through Washington DC on their final leg of the challenge on Sept. 20th.

This is also the day that I signed all of my paper work to enroll in college. Yes, I am finally continuing my education. I have started out with a plan to complete a 1 year diploma program. However, my long term goal is to obtain my associates in health care. Wish me luck!!
