Very Grateful for:

God’s Patience

WLG’s Anniversary!

flannel shirts

a morning with Mom

lavender lotion for Mom

organic carrots, onions, and celery and little herbs still growing from their winter home in my kitchen

smoked chicken and sausage from a Texas town closeby

a wonderful soup, simmering on the stove this morning

lunch with Dad

a chance to listen to the The Blue Danube Waltz while I write this

Access to communication in the widest sense is access to knowledge, and that is vitally important for us if we [the blind] are not to go on being despised or patronized by condescending sighted people. We do not need pity, nor do we need to be reminded we are vulnerable. We must be treated as equals – and communication is the way this can be brought about. ~ Louis Braille, born today in 1809
