Yes, I know I didn't join the mass posting yesterday about the 6-month anniversary of you know what.

I'm not going to now, either.

Good position to take. How is anybody going to get over the events if they concentrate on it and mourn forever? Life moves on... staying in the past is not healthy.

Nothing is going to bring back the people that died in that building or in those airplanes, and I don't think anyone is likely to forget. I'm not sure the documentary and the lights in NYC were appropriate, the opening of the wounds that maybe are finally beginning to heal . . .

Like tigerbright and you said, we all mourn differently.

What people post in their journals is generally what they need to post. No need to jump on a bandwagon that doesn't mean anything to you.

Hmm. I only saw 4 posts, including mine. I didn't realize that was a 'mass'.

This does come across as rather judgemental.

Obviously I need to clarify my position here. I'm not trying to be judgemental, or tell people to get over it. I certainly haven't.

Anyone who's watched my journal over the months will note, however, that my feelings on this subject have yet to be published. Some of us mourn differently.

I can't believe there *is* a six-month "anniversary". Anniversaries happen after a YEAR, people. Give it SOME bleeding time to heal. Don't pick at it.
