Paying Respects
I haven’t yet decided what I’m going to do tomorrow for the one-year anniversary. I’m pretty certain I won’t spend any time in front of the TV. Part of me feels compelled to go downtown and attend a morning memorial and cry with the city again.

But I’m thinking I might instead spend the day celebrating everything I love most about New York. I might take a boat to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, ride up to the top of the Empire State Building walk through Central Park and then finish up at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I’ll be one of the hundreds wearing their I heart New York T-shirts.

For those of you not in New York City tomorrow, the Met has put together a curator’s choice collection for the Sept. 11 anniversary “that they feel express humankind's indomitable spirit. Located throughout the Museum, the works represent every culture and every time in history, and communicate the universal emotions of despair and hope, mourning and recovery, loss and renewal.” Their choices are also available in an online gallery.
