As I woke up yesterday, I found myself thinking about how our world is today, as I know it. It is a different world, ten years after the 9/11 attack. We think differently about our safety. We are not as free moving as we used to be and we get searched and scanned at the airports. To go over the Ambassador bridge, you need a passport and you can not ride your bike over the bridge any longer. That is crazy as I used to ride over the bridge at least once a month to visit my grandmother who lived in Windsor.
Yes, our world has changed. I watched the TV yesterday and saw all the memorials that were going on in NY, PA and at the Pentagon. Many tears were flowing again after ten years and we all recalled the images in our own heads; where we were when those planes hit the World Trade Center. After awhile I had to turn it off and do something fun. I had to get back in the saddle, so to say, and live. So I went out on my bike and road for awhile and thought about how thankful I was for everything in my life.
Being a Granite State College graduate, with my adult college degree in hand, was one of my happy thoughts on my ride.
