Feeling better every day! No lightheadedness! Saw a blind man this morning walking his dog. I've seen him a handful of times before and he is always friendly. He is a sweet, gentle looking man. His eyes are always wide open but they look black. I usually say something before I get too close so he's not startled, but for some reason I didn't speak up first this morning. As I approached, I nimbly pranced the outer edge of the path opposite his side and as I got within a few feet of him, he let out an enthusiastic "Good Morning!" with a smile like if he knew me. I greeted him back and couldn't help but smile at his happiness. He is BLIND yet completely and utterly stoked to be alive at 7 a.m. on a Saturday. What would that be like to be completely blind? Hard to imagine. As I pranced off beyond him I suddenly felt overwhelmingly grateful for my eyes. I'm grateful for my sight. |
