Seeing Clearly

I find this a bit difficult to write about but I believe it is something that needs to be stated for whomever may read my blog. As some of you know I am slowly losing my eyesight. This has shown me thus far many fears and frustrations of losing things I had taken for granted every day. I try to be positive but there are days that I am afraid. My biggest fear is to become a burden on friends and family.

So I write this in regards to "Seeing Clearly" as often times we take our friends, family, and other associations for granted. To be clear I have been blessed with those that surround me and often I don't know how that happened. What did I do that someone would actually give a damn. But there they are, unexpected.

I will make it through this, whether I go sightless or if it is repairable. The point is that none of us should ever allow ourselves to get so wrapped up in our own lives that we forget to thank, to love, to give, to celebrate a birthday, to make that phone call, to give that hug, to a friend or family member. If you can't see you won't be able to do those things via phone or email, and in person as you stumble blindly you will lose your pride.

Value what you have and treat it like a treasure before it is lost. See Clearly in your life before you lose what is right in front of you everyday. I recall the saying "Can't see the forest for the trees" that has a whole new meaning now, especially when you can't really see either one.
