Every Day I am asked “How are You?” My response is always, “Fine, thank you” What I would really like to say is, “Yes … I am okay.”

I Have My Sight… although not perfect, I can still see the glorious sunsets, the antics of a puppy, the smile of a child, and the most important … I can see if there are any bugs in my food..

I Have My Hearing … even though impaired I can hear the music that takes the wrinkles out of my day. I can hear others tell me they love me! And every morning I can hear the snap, crackle, pop … even if it isn’t the cereal.

I Have My Sense Of Smell … although marred with allergies I could tell if the house is on fire, or the baby needs changing. Oh and isn’t it heavenly to smell that first cup of coffee in the morning?

I Still Have My Sense Of Taste … I can tell when something has gone bad or sour, even though I have to wonder about my own cooking sometimes … LoL!

I Still Have My Sense Of Touch … even though some people say I am really touched … The joy of touching another, loving another, petting your cat, makes you feel you are not alone…

I am O.K. you see.
I can walk, even though I may stumble —
I can talk, sometimes without stopping —
I can laugh, even when nothing is funny —
and I can cry, anytime I want to…..
In fact, I think I am better than just Okay !!

How about you my friend?
