Pause

Although it is a beautiful, blue-skied, and sunny day in many places around the world, it is a difficult day for many, as today marks the 12th anniversary of the September 11th attacks on the United States of America when thousands died.  While there are many stories of hope and light that surround this devastating day, I instead want to think about the idea that there is beauty in pausing our busy lives to reflect, remember, and respect the anniversary.  Many of us are just moving too fast most of the time, consumed by the small but important details of our lives, and once in a while it is critical that we stop, pause, and breathe in order to find some peace, create some balance, and feel grounded.
