I dread September - and not for the obvious reason that the
world changed ten years ago today. For
me so many life changing moments have taken place in Septembers past. One year my car was totaled by a drunk driver
while it was parked on the street. The
next year I had to have breast surgery.
The next year my dog had to be put to sleep. In 2000 my mom died unexpectedly. It was in September that both my marriages
fell apart. And last year at this time I was
battling the administration for
firing me without cause.

People say that I’m a survivor... that they admire my
strength. I say that everyone has
different ways of dealing with adversity.
And while every year I wonder what sort of devilry September has in
store for me, I persevere. Because I
know that if one is patient, if one trusts that everything happens the way it’s
supposed to, all of the bad things will be balanced by good.
