Answer a Question with a Question...

my windows are a lifeline for me; we all need to have multiple lifelines, don't we?

I have trouble seeing, but I am thankful for what I can see; isn't everyone thankful for whatever they have?
 
oooh yes , we have to be don't we ? .... (sorry you have trouble seeing Kaila how Bad is it) ?

My mum used to say what God takes away with one hand he gives with another ..eg..if you are deaf, you may have super eyesight, or super sense of smell...or if you're blind you may be a super musician etc.. dunno if it's true but I'd like to think so would you?
 
I would think in some ways it does...my profoundly deaf family all shudder at the fact they could have been born blind and not see the beauty of faces, and nature, and colour and , and my 2 blind friends I've had at different stages in my life shuddered in exactly the same way at the idea of being unable to hear music, or bird song, or watch tv or use the internet ,etc.. ... do you think you could cope well with sudden loss of a limb or a sense ?
 
Yes, (to Rosemarie's question) and especially if one makes repeated conscious efforts to purposefully notice, every good thing that one has left; don't many of us have some experience doing this, and find it is a great "tactic" ?
And I hope that each of you might remember to try it more, if you ever need to...
would you please do that?

(I dont know if what holly's mum said is true or not, but if you focus on doing it, then it can make you more grateful for smaller things that you might not have appreciated as much. I can still see enough; it's frustrating but it could be much worse, thank you both)
 
I have always appreciated nature but now that I'm past my 3 score years and ten, I feel I'm living on borrowed time and appreciate all the little things even more.
Whenever anything bad happens, I ask myself, 'would you rather be dead and unable to experience this?'
 
Do others also hold on to receipts for things, long past when there might be any use for them?

(And then can't always reliably locate them, sometimes, if they are needed? Or is everyone more organized than me?)
 
Yes, but do I need a separate specific place for many different items? And if so,
then where do I post a list of those locations, that no one else would see it, so I can remember where each one is?
