I've bitched quite frequently about my growing lack of interest in the field I've chosen to make my career in. I often think I've lost the news bug, the drive that makes you want to break the next story or be the first on the air with it. But, I watched with the rest of the world on pins and needles as one by one, 33 miners were pulled to the surface after being trapped underground for more than 2 months, and I couldn't help but feel the anticipation, the excitement that comes with a big story. From death, to destruction, to just plain crazy, we see so much in the news field that you don't think you can be surprised anymore. But, to see how these men survived in a hole underground for so long and to see their families just weep with joy at seeing them again really was emotional. You couldn't not get swept up in the intensity of the moment. It's a renewal of human strength and a true inspiration we can all apply to our lives.
