I can't believe it's been 7 years! I still remember this day like it was yesterday. But I wish I had written down exactly how I felt on that day. It's hard to recall everything right now. I wondered if things would ever be the same again, or if they would be completely different. Well, it seems like things have settled back to normal, except for the increased security in airports and other public places, but those changes are necessary. I still wonder if that's enough security to keep us safe?
Anybody else have thoughts on this day? Please share, even if you're not from America, I'd also like to know your point-of-view.
God Bless America.
Update: Turns out I did a better post about this day two years ago. Just click on the label below to read it, I actually wrote about how I felt that day and where I was.

Hi Michelle,
so lovely to get a post from you on my blog. Yeah, sad day eh. I remember waking up as usual, drinking coffee then being called into the bedroom to watch it unfold live. I was unemployed at the time, in the middle of a 7 month layoff. I remember this awful sick feeling of doom, that America was changed forever. I tuned in obsessively for weeks to the tv after that. On 9/11 I had a meeting with someone for a potential job, but after a few minutes we both kind of knew we just wanted to go home. What a terrible day.
12 string guitars sound goreous. They are just like 6 strings. If you have them set so the action is nice and low, it's quite easy to play them just like a 6 string. I used to have a Yamaha 12 string, but the action on the strings was horrible and I was too stupid to take it in for repair, ended up giving it away, which was quite silly.
So, how have you been? Are you still at school?
Sad day in history. Good post Michelle. I was driving to town with my friend and the roads were empty. We had left early, and had not heard the news yet, then we did and wow. everything well most everything was closed. the sky was quiet you could feel the country in a state of shock. My uncle died that same day, and because all planes were grounded, the out of town family could not get to his service, how awful for my aunt. My mom passed a month earlier, 2 yrs after my Dad, and the first thing I thought of was, thank god, my Mom, alone, without my Dad. was not here to witness it, she would have been so incredibly scared being by herself, she already was. That was my first thought and then of course for everyone there, involved in anyway shape or form. And then our poor country, how different things will be from that point on. I remember watching the concert for NY on VH1, and how emotional it was. And I remember visiting ground zero 6 months later, all the cards and missing picctures, placed there, heart wrenching.
Anyway, just a few thoughts.
Metalchick/Michelle:
So very happy to see you back on the blog! I do not like myspace, therefore, I especially am happy to see a "myspacer" back home to blogville!
You are truly a loyal blogger, even to us older folks, here, "Down the Hill", below cajon pass.
Peace,

Hi Michelle, sorry it's taken me a few days to get back to you. Nice to see you back in blogdom again. I was on a barge going to France on 9/11. I remember not really knowing what had happened and then the disbelief when we heard the news. We moored up in a town called Kortrijk in southern Belgium that night, and I remember the town was empty and silent. Everyone was at home watching the terrible news.
