I have gratitude today for...
* landing safely in Philly after our red-eye flight home from CA, on this gorgeous, somber day.
* keeping the memory of 9/11 alive within me. I felt like the coverage of 9/11 today was minimal and I find that nothing other than unacceptable. How can we be forgetting so soon? How can the Kardashian's play on the Today show without the moment of silence in NYC interrupting? My friend had to beg her principal to lower the flag at her school to half staff. Are we already forgetting what that day felt like? The pain and chaos and fear and everything else it brought to everyone of us? This is a day that can not be forgotten. The people that died that day deserve more than that. I wish all of the daytime and evening news shows covered the lives of the many great people that died on 9/11, or their families will to move on with their lives. No, we don't need to see the planes crashing into the buildings over and over again---but the lives of those affected should be honored in the media. The major networks should be embarrassed by the lack of their coverage today. 

* John being able to let us park at the airport lot during our CA trip. 
* watching the Phillies game tonight with Andy. It looks like they could have a chance to make the playoffs after all---pretty crazy after this letdown of a season!
