I got up this morning to see the sun rise over Manhattan, like I did last year, like I mean to do every year.

I almost didn't get out of bed when the alarm rang, I thought "Jeez, I don't really want to do this, I want to sleep!" but then I thought, "I want to do this every year and I'm going to mess it up on only the second year?" and dragged my ass out of bed.

I'm glad I did, too. It was beautiful. I thought less about what had happened on this day two years ago and more about all of the people that I love that were on that island on that day and are there now, and how glad I am that they are alive.

Today's horoscope:
Give yourself permission to ignore rules that no longer apply. The annoying person that seems to bait you is really a teacher offering guidance. There's more to learn before you can safely launch a new project.

One year ago today:
That day, those days and weeks following, were so big, are so big in my head that it can never be long ago. A year is a very long time, unless there was a tragedy at the beginning of it, and then a year is a moment, because the tragedy was a moment ago.
