In truth, no American who experienced the horror of September 11, 2001 will ever again know the luxury of a September 10 mindset. The greater concern is being stuck in a September 12 mindset, unable or unwilling to understand the lessons we've learned since those terrible early days. This is the mindset that undermines America's long-term security.
For a while after 9/11, I felt as though I was stuck in the wrong time line. Now I'm used to being here, and I've concluded that the wrong time line feeling was actually a metaphor for missing how I felt before 9/11.
