There's a breath of fresh air on the way...

There was a lot of fire last week, not only in the San Diego area but all over the news, the news updates, the news papers, the magazines. You couldn't even look up a good "what crazy thing is Britney doing" without hearing about how her favorite Starbucks was in harms way of the Malibu fires. But the truth is that there were a lot of San Diegans who were lucky enough to get out of last weeks firestorm without any serious long term damage. There were many that didn't have to evacuate or sit and wait to find out about the state of their houses. So now what? Is a week long enough to "get back to normal?"

Ask The Union Tribune:

Weird, even though many of us desperately crave a return to normal life. But is it possible to slip back into workaday rhythms when so many lives have been hit so hard?

Apparently it's the guilt. The guilt at returning to the routine of life in this great city while there are others who cannot. The push is to get back to normal, with a twist. Take some time to nod at the person next to you. Take some time to talk about things with your friends, but get out there.

We're nothing if not active.
