Nothing like a natural disaster to get the mind running. and fingers typing.
After the storm last week, I've had a few afterthoughts.
1. Birmingham is truly a magic city. News articles have noted the "army of volunteers" reaching out, and I know personally of one tragedy and the support all around for that person has overwhelmed me. Finally, I can appreciate the small-town-ness of it all. Sad, that it took this.
2. During the storm, I had not one thought of any material posessions. I even forgot about my engagement ring and asked my mom over the phone if I should leave the bathroom (my safe spot) to put it on. Refreshing.
3. I am a big girl. I was ready to tackle that tornado had it come any closer (although, if it had I may very well not be typing this right now). But I felt strong, and capable. Just me and the dogs, (on leashes) in the bathtub. Ready for it.
4. Not sure why our community was spared, but thank God. Thank you, God.
