Watching all the Katrina coverage has to end for me. I can no longer stomach watching the suffering and coping with the feelings of inadequacy that come with doing nothing. I’m not talking about writing checks, I’ve done that… but I need to be involved in a bigger way. I need to give back to my neighbor in some big cosmic way that involves me getting off my white butt and trying to feel as much pain as all these people do. I feel so compelled to go down there. So much so, I called Costco Travel and asked if I could get a refund on my Maui vacation so we could instead go to the Deep South and help out. That is a much more rewarding way to celebrate 15 years of marriage right? Frolicking in the waves is way over rated. Doesn’t matter really. They said no. And truthfully, if I must admit, my husband wasn’t too thrilled with this plan. He would rather go to Maui. Go figure.
