Have you ever thought about what a miracle it is to be able to see?
Have you ever considered what it would be like to loose your eyesight?
Two days ago, I suddenly lost the use of my peripherial vision and most of my sharp vision. My sight was limited to a tunnel right in front of me and I could not read text on the computer screen or in books etc. It happened just like that - *snap* - like a bolt out of the blue. At first it was just irritating, but then fear set in: What if my sight never returns?
Luckily it did (after about half an hour), and for that I am SO grateful!!! But it made me realize how much most of us depend on a good eyesight, and how much we take it for granted. Had my sight not been restored (thank you! thank you! thank you!!!), I would have had to give up most of what I like do.
I am so grateful I can see!

our primary sense … one often is put in the quandary of - which would you prefer to lose, your sight or your seeing … and most people would choose to go deaf … the wonders of blind musicans (like Art Tatum) do make one wonder though …
I bet that freaked you out?? I would have been freaked out over that… I give you credit for 'maintaining' your calm and waiting it out…. that's a biggie. :) I'm glad for you also! And I can relate with a thing or two… but nothing with my eyesight… good health is important for sure. Havea great day!
me too. I almost lost an eye last year. but through the miracle of western medicine a donor cornea, I can see too!! it's awesome!!
