It truly does make you appreciate every moment of every day. Along those lines I'm leaving lawyering and returning to teaching. I decided I needed to be true to myself and feel that I was making a real and lasting contribution. I'm leaving the door open to return to gov't work but know I will never return to litigation. It isn't worth seeing lives destroyed by frivilous claims and the horrible way attorneys can treat each other some times.
Life is too short.
It is not selfish to wish the hurt would go away. There were so many, and I can't stop thinking about what they must have been feeling, and how desperate and sad they must have been. Also, the picture of the three firemen putting up the flag, at the site of the wreckage in Manhatten. The tribute they did on I think it was NBC for the chaplain of the fire dept. A cartoon we recieved in our e-mail that shows an eagle sharpening his talons.
