Jorjah-Remember

i don't think i am quite eloquent enough as to write anything profound on this ten-year anniversary of the 9 | 11 attacks. but i do want to remember and pay tribute to the bravery and rise patriotism that came about that day. instead of dwelling on the deep sadness about that day here {which has been stirred in me over the past couple of days because of the news coverage and specials about 9 | 11 that have been aired}, i will instead celebrate that patriotism and the freedom that we all enjoy here in the united states.

i am grateful beyond words for that freedom... it is what allows me to have a voice on my blogs and liberty to express my beliefs. this ten-year mark had reminded me to be ever mindful and thankful for all that i have and to continue to pray for all who were affected so deeply that day.

one of the great things about this country is that people are free to do and become anything they want to. they are encouraged and allowed to pursue their dreams for livelihood and life. and that is one of the wonderful things about sites like etsy... a place for people to make their dreams of creating and livelihood come true.

so today, i will celebrate that patriotism, bask in that freedom and remember with tribute through some american flag {and other patriotic} images i found on that very site!

i love each of these images... for the subject, but for the artistic quality as well.

i pray that this nation and the individuals that make it what it is have been healing these past ten years. and i pray we will always remember that day, so as not to take for granted all that we have.
