measi's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- and the day after... On any other morning, I'd be celebrating the perfect weather we're having in Boston. On any other morning, I would have looked forward to turning on the TV as I got ready for work. On any other morning, I would assume that the stares by passersby on the street were because I had paper stuck to a shoe, or something else out of place... on just me. On any other morning, the violent images on the front page of the newspaper would be from somewhere else in the world. On any other morning, I would have relished the quiet during my half-hour subway ride. On any other morning, I wouldn't have questioned any flippant action I might take. On any other morning, I wouldn't have a second thought about Ivanna's well-being down in New York. On any other morning, I wouldn't kick myself for having donated platelets last week, because my next available donation time isn't until the 21st. On any other morning, the sound of an airplane overhead wouldn't make me jump. On any other morning, life would go on as it always had. --Mel. 11:12 a.m. - 12 September 2001 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
