Nine Years Out
It's hard to believe that today it's been 9 years since the World Trade Center towers were destroyed.
On that day, I was a young woman who had just started practicing law, looking forward to celebrating my birthday as a twentysomething-year-old.
Today I am a still-young woman years into my practice of law, celebrating my birthday as a thirtysomething-year-old.
In that period of time, I'd like to think we've all become more aware of the world and its dangers. But also more appreciative of the days of peace, and all of the good things about our humanity.
If Osama bin Laden is still out there, he certainly knows he hasn't beaten us.
I believe in forgiveness. I wish all of us love and peace. It's my birthday so I get to bestow that wish on everyone for today.

Happy belated birthday, THB. You are now person #2 I know with a 9/11 birthday. It must have been hard in the early years to feel very celebratory, but I hope you had a very nice day this year!
