Do you remember the months (and years) after 9/11 when collectively as a nation we were all waiting for the other shoe to drop and it never did?
You could simply feel it in the air... The waiting and waiting was almost unbearable.
I was living in DC at the time... The powder scares, the snipers - everyone instinctively knew as bad as those were, it wasn't the other shoe...
I remember wanting it to just drop so I could rid myself of the feeling, the tension... I didn't want anyone to be hurt but the aprehension was almost unbearable... Gradually, it subsided both personally and as a nation...
The feeling is back... And thru reading today's posts and those thru out the week, I'm not the only one... It's not Israel, it's not Obama, it's not the fiscal cliff - but it's out there looming.... What is it?
The power here cut out this morning (it's back on thank God) but the first thing I did (after posting to GLP!) was put the bug out bags in the truck... I've never done that before...
thoughts, please...
