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.”<\/p>\n
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..<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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?<\/p>\n
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!<\/p>\n
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…<\/p>\n
I am O.K. you see.
\nI can walk, even though I may stumble —
\nI can talk, sometimes without stopping —
\nI can laugh, even when nothing is funny —
\nand I can cry, anytime I want to…..
\nIn fact, I think I am better than just Okay !!<\/p>\n
