Subject: Re: [Faith-talk] healing, blindness and other thoughts

Well, I'm blind from birth as I  said the other day, and at this
point in my life don't want to change that.  But that doesn't
mean that there isn't struggle.  The world is geared for sighted
folks, so no matter how good your blindness skills are, there are
definitely nuisance factors.  Every time I  move to a new house,
have at a new job or whatever, ow have to get oriented to that
situation.  I have a lousy sense of direction.  So it takes me a
while to get used to new surroundings.  I'd love to be one of
those people who just learn their surroundings quickly and all
that, but my brain just doesn't compute that way.  I'll admit
that sometimes blindness is tiresome.  Lol.  But then I shake
myself off and say, well, what it is is what it is.  Right now
I'm going through another such adjustment.  I was laid off on
Friday.  We knew that it was going to happen at some point, and
thought that it would be the end of October.  But it happened
this last Friday.  I was working away when I get a request to go
to the conference room.  My heart sank to the bottom of my feet,
I swear.  I knew that something was happening and it wasn't going
to be good.  They told us that we were being let go and that at
the end of the day we should take our personal belongings.  So
that's that.  We may be asked back in a few months, but who
knows? So now for the slog to figure out what I'm supposed to be
doing next.  Plus I'm still grieving over not being there.  Thank
God I have a new Seeing Eye dog who needs my attention and needs
work, because what I  feel like doing is just staying in bed.
And if I wasn't married I probably would have.  Having another
person around up and about is a spur to get my butt out of bed,
too.    Debby and Neena
