Today's Tip For All Those Survivors Of 9/11!

Well today marks the 6th year of the crashes and deaths of the Twin Towers in NYC and Flight 93. I have this day marked in red on my calendar as a day to remember every year since the day the world ended as we know it. For frugal empathy of all those who lost a loved one I have a homemade flag a small one tied to my cars antenna in memory of those brave souls. I sewed it with scrapes of red, white, and blue from clothes that don't fit me anymore. I sewed it by hand so I would have some idea of some of the pricking pain going on in some people's life since 9/11/2001. You see . I am an excellent sewing machine seamstress, but when it comes to sewing by hand I always prick myself with the needle and it hurts, so this is the reason. I wanted to feel some pain and not be detached from the day. I do feel numb when I think of all those people of 9/11. I watched the news broadcast interviews last night and wondered what can I do to ease the feeling of sadness some in my community have over a lost loved one. An Idea came to me when I looked at my sewing machine and my clothes I was taking to the thrift store today make a flag, so I did by hand. It wasn't the best and most certainly it had a few drops of blood on it, but it was my memorial to all of the victims alive and dead of 9/11. I know nothing of their pain, but plenty of the pain it took to make that flag today which I am willing to display on my car's antenna the rest of the year. Sewing helped ease my anger management in some ways. I am no longer angry over 9/11 and what it did to our country. I find solice in the fact that my grandma taught me to sew so I would always have a health outlet for my anger and creativity. I am teaching my foster children nowadays too.

Sewing brings out so much good in a person and sometimes it even helps us destract ourselves from our sorrow and grief from tragedy comes creativity and from creativity comes happiness once more, so my tip and try sewing to distract yourself or another art like crocheting and knitting. Teaching your children or a friend is another form of distraction too. We can never forget, but a healthy distraction is always what we need. God bless you all and may he walk in your presence daily.
