MI: It's not Mission Impossible, It's Moral Inventory

Woke up this morning and watched abit of Oprah Show on TV, the episode on the victims of Hurricane Katrina and the Oprah's Angel Network. I saw the footage of the destruction and the victims, the homeless, the children.. I listened to the stories of the kind souls who offered their help to rebuild homes, gathered food and donations. There was this one volunteer that made the deepest impression; a man from Illinois who brought his own airboat to New Orleans and rescued more than 55 people and animals stranded by the floodwaters. These stories just blew me away. The spirit of giving.. The selfless heroes.. What an inspiring way to wake up to, in the morning. I knew today will be a good one.

I went for my morning jog and headed for work after breakfast. As I was heading to work and listening to EITS's 'Snow and Lights', I saw this girl from school, walking as her Grandma yelled at her from behind, "I will sell you away if you are so naughty!!" I saw her yesterday; she was walking as her Grandma yelled at her from behind, "I will sell you away if you are so naughty!!" Strangely, I smiled to myself. I like waking up, not feeling sick and feeling well enough to go to work. With seeing the girl on both days on my way to work on two consecutive days, I feel so normal, all of a sudden. It's strange that I like normalcy nowadays. I used to abominate, loathe and absolutely detest it. I hated been like everyone else. I wanted to be distinctive, exclusive, different, unique.. Now.. I just want to be able to do what everyone else is doing.. I wonder if it's because I'm ill and that I can't do many things I normally could do. But I do hope I see the girl from school once more, the one walking as her Grandma yells at her from behind, "I will sell you away if you are so naughty!!" Cos when I do, it sure means I'm feeling well enough to go to work once more.
