Blurb my brain:
Do random things inspire you? Maybe random things inspire me because I always have a new blog to write.
Right now I am sitting on the bus, and one of my favorite passengers is with me. Well, riding the bus anyway. I call him Deaf Man.
Deaf Man pulls at my heart strings all the time. He may smell like a liquor store attacked by rabid cats. But wouldn't you be as well? You can speak but people have a hard time understanding you. You can't hear them, and have to read their lips.
Last week in church, the priest spoke of how we should be more accepting of members in society who are handicapped, homeless, or mentally ill. We shouldn't just donate to them, we should take the time to strike up a conversation. Ask them how they are doing.
I am getting to the point I swear.
Deaf Man makes me want to learn sign language. I already know German. How hard can it be to learn sign language. Hard. But I have been wanting to learn for a while, and while my intentions are malicious (going top secret with Fiancé in a crowd) the intent is still there.
Seeing Deaf Man struggle makes me want to learn so I can strike up a conversation. Besides "I have 2 brothers and drunken cowboy", which is all I know.
What inspires you to do what?
