I wish I was more thankful for things before I lost my vision.
Driving, reading, colors, remembering faces, seeing the stars, being independent, my job, looking at photographs, watching my nephews grow up, seeing what I will look like older, nature, television, writing something down on a piece of paper, an art gallery, seeing the wonders of the world.
Perhaps I am more thankful now. Perhaps my lack of vision gave me more to be thankful for.
Yes my feet burn on the hot pavement. I still have legs.
The annoying sounds during the meditation. I still have hearing.
I have a migraine today. I am still alive!
Using my white cane down the busy street, I am present and aware.
