Dear September Sun,

I'm equally excited that fall weather is approaching and upset that the sun is about to to leave.  Today I sat in the sun for just a half an hour, but it was amazing.  I even had to worry about getting burned.  Though, that probably never would have happened.  I want to wear my sweaters and my boots but I loved catching the last rays of sun in my shorts.  As you can tell, I am deeply conflicted.

I spent some time before today remembering the events of ten years ago.  In fact, I've spent part of the last month thinking about September 11, because even though I was alive for the event, I feel as though I never be able to fully understand the effects of that day.  I don't understand the ensuing months, or wars.  I feel like I would have to do some serious studying to understand September 11.  So, I wanted to do something today to try and understand, but in the end, I gave it less thought today than other days in the past month.  Regarding September 11 I just feel lost, I don't know when or where to start. 


love,
hannah
