Inspired

The other night I had a lovely chat with a dear friend on vp. Thank goodness for the videophone where we can see each other's faces, and converse in American Sign Language. Anyhow, she mentioned that she is looking for a job. Even though she is deaf, it does not stop her from approaching hearing people to inquiry about a job opening. Many deaf people I know tend to be passive and accept the consequences without standing up and be proactive. I applaud her for being proactive, and be strong! And by the way, she is an Aries, which in other words, she has no patience to wait and plus, she is stubborn. She definitely inspires me to be more proactive and stand up a bit more. It is too bad that we live way far apart. Every time I wear the purple Tampa t-shirt, I always think of her ;-)

After our chat on vp, there is nothing more in the world than wanting to live near my dear friends. However, again, thank goodness for the videophone!
