My Christmas tree is up, I even have two trees.   The big does have a big “bulb” blind spot.  I missed an area.  And I have several of the same ornament next to each other.  Of well.  I love the decorating of the Tree and sitting in the dark with the lights  blinking.

At Christmas, more than any other time, I “look” at all that I have.  Which is alot, I have really great friends, wonderful Family, I have fun with everything I do and I love good Food,

I’m not the most religious person around, but that too is okay with me.  I am happy with myself.  As I open my eyess I see the good the season brings.  Yes I know there are bad people out there  and not every thing is “Cherry and Fun”, but for this time of the year I can believe that it is.

Today is the Blondes birthday.  From day one that the Cannolli Sisters became the blone (Theresa) leading  the Bllind (me)  things in life changed.  She is still blonde, and I am still blind, but Life is good and today everything will be a little bit better….Thank you very much Red Peters.

I actually do alot of things.  I still pack occasionally. for those who are forwarded on to me..  I have the knowlledge to put the items in paper, in a box, and they do not break.

I so a newsletter for a club, and still make mistakes, but for the most part it is informative and current.

I do ride my bicycle around town.  i used to drive a truck, and know to check around me for cars, driveways,  ins and outs.

When I go somewhere unfamiliar, I take my cane.  I rely on those I’m with not to let me walk into a glass window. (It has been done).

But when there is a situation that I  feel I am not capable of doing.  I dont.

Recently,  I went to the beach with a wonderful group of ladies.  One of which has the same eye problem as myself.  She is a bit older and from the “old world” and didnt want anyone to know.  I use my “blind” cane, when I am in unfamiliar areas or when we will be in a large crowd.

I took it with us to the beach.  We planned on walking the city scape after lunch.

As we walked up the treet, which was crowded, people did move  out of my way.  and No I wasnt swinging it like a club. haha.  The next day she asked me id I dould do whatever I do on the computer and get her one.

And yes I did.  I am not sure if she is using it or not… But the thought is there..

Open your minds to new ideas, no matter how you feel about them.

I went to dinner with Katy this week.  She told me that I havent put anything down here in a while.  I told her that I had nothing to say.  She began listing things i could write about.

I do use my blind cane.  Not as much for me but for others to see me.

I do use colors to make things stand out.  I’ve discussed color on color and how tough it is.

I am careful.. I don’t go out at night.  Night is very difficult.

I do ask for help when I need it.  But when I can do it myself I do.  For example, when I know I am going to a resturant for lunch, I  check out the menu, at home, on line, where my letters are big.  I know what I am getting when I get there.  Then there are specials that throw off the whole thing.

So Little things can stay little things….
