living the simple life has its ups and downs....
but for the most part we are on the up.
life is good when you have people you love around you!
but its hard when I am alone with my thoughts...
i don't think i've missed out on anything but i can't even begin to realize what it would be like if i could see through antohers eyes... maybe it would be worse.
just because i can not literally see things clear doesn't mean i don't have a clear view of whats going on... i think i may have a better view than a lot of people around me...
after almost 8 years of knowing i have a condition called stargardts i now know my life could not have been this good with out it. i've always known god does things for a reason but believe me i have had my doubts...
when you are young all you think about is when you get your license you are gonna be the coolest kid on the block and go do so many cool things and your parents won't have to take you to the mall. but for me i was like "oh crap what am i gonna do now?"
but you see god is oh so tricky!!! he thinks he is so smart sometimes and i think i would have to agree with him. i have had so many advantages to my life and have met some of the most amazing people.
the blind are not a different race but a community, a wonderful community of people who i have had the honor of joining, they are a different community than most communities you think of. we are a community that is so inviting and kind. they could care less what color your skin is, what sex you are or anything else. we have on thing in common and we have the best viw of the world.
it is not destroyed by images on the news or in the paper... even those of us with sight have it good. we know how lucky we are to have the vision we do and don't take it for granted every day i see something more beautiful than the last. whetther it be my daughter, my husband or the little blue bird in the backyard.
i don't take for granted the things i have in my life because i know they could be gone at any time or i could have never got them.
don't be selfish, . the world is not yours alone but all of ours to share and take in the beauty of what God has created! it is such a wonderful place... forget about the politics and money, just sit outside listen to the sounds of nature and all god's little creatures including your kids.
LIFE is so so wonderful and it should not be taken for granted for the stupidest things. we are here together right now so just make it the best you can.
