I just wondered how many people here at WA had heard Alan Jackson's song about one of the saddest occasions I can remember - September 11....
My son just had an issue with his cowboy hat not fitting properly, and he had a "hissie fit" and being me, I reminded him of all the people in the world with bigger issues than him.
I remember driving to work that morning South Australian time about 8.00 a.m. and hearing the news on the car radio. I pulled off the road and listened to the tragic news and cried about all the lives lost in such a tragic situation; I was in disbelief. My heart went out to all those affected by such a tragic circumstance: your country all stood together to combat this insidious act. The lives lost by the rescuers trying to help was nothing short of devastating.
I eventually got to work that morning, and in awe, I told people what had happened, but the night shift workers already knew. Everyone was so upset.

When I hear this song, I recall answering "yes" to many of the questions Alan asks. Please listen to the song, if you can, and let me know how many questions you answer "yes" to?
I can remember where I was when the world stopped turning that September day!
After having this discussion with my 15 year old son, he no longer sees his hat being out of shape as a huge issue. Mind you he has fixed it by steaming it over the kettle!
Isn't it unusual in life what some people "spit chips" over when there are so many people worse off than them? If I have an issue in life, I immediately think "who is worse off", and it calms me down straight away! And I know I am the lucky one! Over to you for your comments if you like....
Here's the link to the beautiful but sad song, if you would like to hear it...
