Humility

There are times when life sends you down. It could be for reasons of health, for financial difficulties or the loss of someone dear to your heart. There are always mountains to be climbed in mortality. Some are steeper than others.

I've been having issues with my eyes lately. Sometimes I can see--other times I haven't been able to see. It's been a trial and I won't tell you that it hasn't been frustrating at times. I've been unable to work because writing isn't compatible with sudden blindness.

The good news is that there are no tumors or lesions on my optic nerves. The bad news is that they don't understand just why my eyes have been freaking out on me.

The other good news is that it seems to be subsiding. I'm hopeful and hopeful enough that I'm going to start writing again.

I've learned a great deal about depending on others during this time. I've learned just how much I value my eyesight. I've been humbled by this experience.

I hope I've learned what I was supposed to learn from going through this because I'd rather not repeat it anytime soon.

I'm thankful for being humbled. I'm thankful for my children and my husband who have taken such good care of me. Thankful for my nine year old who would type things out for me when I was unable to do so.

I am truly blessed.
