light as a feather

It has been a peaceful sort of Sunday, with lazy meals on a soft, cool day, quietly catching up with friends. It doesn't escape me that today marks a decade since 9/11. I remember I was in class when news of the attack broke. Since then, we've lived 10 years in its shadow, walking to the light, but feeling that faint, almost indelible chill nonetheless.
It's good to spend today feeling content, unburdened. Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn, time for mooncakes, tea, and family.

I was reflecting on my blog on the difference a year makes, well a decade after September 11 seems so long and yet, I can still remember that queasy and grip(p)ing feeling in my belly when I first catched the news on tv.
At the time, I was doing an internship at an International Organization promoting worldwide peace and unity through aid and the general question among these International officials was why did this act of terror happen? It was quite terrifying to witness the bafflement of people supposedly in the know of the way of the world.
I can't believe it's already Mid-Autumn already! Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
Besides that, you look great, I'm so envious of that A.p.c shirt, just beautiful.
Joy: Thanks! And happy mid autumn to you too!
Garderoben: Yes, I will never look at some things the same way again.
And thanks :)

As for 9/11, I was standing in a British telephone box calling the friend who informed me. I was also eating a pie, and quickly lost my appetite. Dazed memories..
Milly: Planning my weekend in advance is sometimes the only way I can get through.
Lapin de Lune: That's not true, you and several others who have this blouse all look perfectly fine to me. It's so versatile.
just eileen: Thanks! I carried a old Gucci bag that belonged to my mum - simple box purse with a flap front you can sling on one shoulder.
