8am this morning, had to run out for milk and cream for coffees... today is the 10th year after 9/11 (I really hate using the word anniversary); and it was a gloriously beautiful morning after what was a really hard storm last night -- rain, hail, thunder and lightning that we don't see all that often.

I took a picture of the aftermath of my flooded room floor, where water had taken up some of the paint; but chose instead to put up a picture of blues skies and living things today, rather than something destroyed.

We are the sum of the choices we make.
