These days it easy for me to realize a lot of things, one of them is all the things I took for granted (I am sure others can relate to at least some of these things).
Probably the biggest thing I miss is my eye-sight, the loss of which contributes to most all others. I know that I am blessed to have the eye-sight I do have, I am not completely blind but maybe legally blind (I will find out next week). Though I used to mess with eye-glasses and in my vanity contacts, my vision was still 20-20 (or close to it) and my field of vision great! All the same, I took it for granted, thinking I would always have it. Practically in the blink of an eye it was gone.
Losing your eye-sight, even partially makes you realize how much you depend on in, without even thinking about it.
The other thing I have come to realize is how much you depend on it for things without even realizing it like one’s balance, or the way that you move. I am definitely not as quick on my feet or as sure as I once was.
Along with the eye-sight goes all so many things. One of the things I miss truly is my way to get around the kitchen! No more big elaborate meals for family and friends!
Really I am not throwing a pity party! More I just want people to be truly aware of what they have and make them aware no to take such things for granted anymore. Simple things like being able to read – instructions, directions or a book!
Though I miss so many things that I used to take for granted, I am truly thankful for all that I do have! Be sure to give thanks Ever Day for all the things you have, you might not have them tomorrow!
