I remember

I remember when we thought we were safe and that our families were safe. I remember when you could get on a plane with a SMALL SET of tools and not have to ship them home or put them in your checked bags. I remember when I didn't worry if I had a cell phone or a camera or a computer on the plane with me. I remember when I didn't care much about who thought what about the U.S. or me for that matter. They couldn't really hurt me or my family and who would be stupid enough to attack the U.S. We found out on 9/11. I remember watching the towers go down and the fire at the pentagon. I will never forget. I will never feel the same again and I only wish that I could feel safe. Not so much for me but for my kids. I will stop and remember on 9/11 I only hope that you will too and you will find the strength to be part of the solution. To be part of the solution is to care what others think of us and to try and change the perceptions that they have about us. REMEMBER!

Back on the horse

I am ready to get my life back on track! I started to replace the book keeping system in the shop and spent about 6 hrs finding all of the billing I have been ignoring while I have been rebuilding studio 4. The girls start school next week and I am going to try to use that as a fresh start on having a good outlook on life. I wish I had been in a better frame of mind for the last 1/2 year but with the big rebuild after loosing our grand space for the studio I guess that the depression should have been expected. The rebuild is almost done now and I have dug out of the hole I was in so things should be looking better. My friends have been great and I thank you all for the things that you have done for me. So here is to the new start and the beginning of fall. I will be doing great things and finding the time to go for a ride and watch the leaves change. I miss spending time out in the world so that is going to change. I am not a mushroom.
