Take Action: Remembering

By
Real Estate Agent with Big Block Realty 858.232.8722 CA BRE# 01261476

"It isn't the burdens of today that drive men mad.

It is the regrets over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow.

Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today."

 ~ Author, Robert Hastings

 

 

Your action for today is

to remember a regret and learn

from what you did or didn't do.

 

 

"There is only one success -- to be able to live your life in your own way."
American Editor and Author, Christopher Morley

 

I remember it was close to 6:00AM in San Mateo, CA

I was home in bed watching the news and having my coffee

when a reporter broke in on "Breaking News!" 

standing in front of one of the smoking Twin Towers.

Then watching  live on the news as the second plane hit

- gobsmacked at what I just saw thinking "this can't be real."

In my lifetime I've seen some spectacular and some horrible things. 

That's life I suppose,  yin & yang,  good & bad, win & lose, etc.

I will never forget, but I will always remember

the gratitude I felt for the first responders that saved lives

and our military avenged this terrorist act.

Hi Thomas, this sentence says it all. We can never thank those first responders and our military enough.
