1- I can’t believe it’s the 25th anniversary of 9/11. I teared up a little listening to Up First thinking about the horror and sadness of that day, plus the intense feelings of uncertain safety I remember feeling so . . . new and shocking that day. I was a senior in college and vividly remember the hours spent with my college BFFs watching the coverage, worried but also so glad to be there for each other.
Anyway, I just wanted to pay tribute to anyone who suffered a loss that day, directly or indirectly. Life is so unpredictable, so unfair, and so precious.
(And the rest of this post will be dedicated to much much smaller things, because I guess that’s also part of what makes life what it is!)
2- This week’s playlist was among my favorites. I challenge anyone to listen this album and NOT relax:
Also loved albums from Paris Paloma and Medium Build (both new to me; both on last week’s New Music Friday from NPR).
3- Another fun ep from GND:
4- Thought provoking post from Frugal Girl: What would you do or buy if $10M dropped into your lap?
I couldn’t come up with many tangible items. In fact, the first thing that I thought of was that I would use this to somehow . . . never again take overnight call. I will take an uninterrupted night of sleep over all the fancy cars and handbags in the world!
5- Dealing with some difficult non-bloggable things lately but overall keeping busy and staying engaged with life. There is no ‘out of the woods’ period where everything is awesome forever, so we should all savor the less stressful times, I guess.
Happy Rosh Hashanah to those who celebrate – we will be spending tonight with family and I am looking forward to it.
