I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain.
And my head I'd be scratchin' while
my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain.

With a week full of catch-up work behind me and many weeks ahead of holing myself up somewhere to study, I thought I'd watch the Wizard of Oz. Some do claim that it does have something to do with economics which I will use as one of my excuses for watching it...but I have always loved the song that the scarecrow sings...even if I feel like I am degrading myself somehow by singing it. Because I don't mean it! It's just awkward when I start to whistle/hum it and then I start to think about what I think others are thinking X( But I really like the song...such a paradox.
Anyways...I was in church today sitting next to my friend when the speaker said roughly the following. 'My sister is about to have a kid and how horrible would it be if she didn't teach that kid how to walk! It would be impossible to go through life without that skill.' I then leaned over to my friend and said 'That's when a person in a wheelchair would leave the room'. So we had a laugh and then he told me about this. So informed, and it was so very amusing to me that I had to share it with you. The Chuck that Mr. Biden is referring to is a man who is in a wheelchair if you don't get the reference I am trying to make. Truly the speaker was not trying to make fun of handicapped people, but the irony is rather paramount.
It's the second time a public speaker has said something to that effect whilst I was attending to their address and I have to say it has made me more aware of what I say. Albeit it helps make church a more unique experience. I know I can't have empathy (as of yet) with the physically handicapped and I often wonder how I chanced upon this kind of life. I must need not abuse it then...though I will always want to be jealous of the motorized shopping carts they have at...shopping marts...but it's stupid of me to be so when I have two perfectly good legs. X( anyways...after today I think my ferver will burn anew to take the stairs when I can.
