Scrolling through Facebook this morning brings back so many painful memories. I was working in Baltimore for Legg Mason when we heard about the World Trade Center being hit. It was so overwhelming. We went to the trading floor to watch the TV’s. I was terrified. I was already completely out of my comfort zone working in the city. Now this. Were we next? I was so confused and scared. I was terrified for many months following the attacks. Always looking over my shoulder. Watching video footage day in and day out.
Scrolling through Facebook this morning makes me realize how far I’ve come. Humans really are resilient. Who would have thought any of us would ever feel ok again. I now have such a grasp on my anxiety. I am in my comfort zone, practicing my Dharma as a yoga teacher. I no longer watch the news, but stay up to date by reading it.
I definitely feel a rush of anxiety any time I see a reference to the attacks on 9/11, but I do feel that it’s my duty to remember. I want to remember for all those who died or lost loved ones. I honor them and all those who helped that day and the months following. God Bless us all.
