[Nfb-krafters-korner] patience, patience, patience

[Susan Roe]

I think you are doing wonderful for only being 3 years!  This Thanksgiving 
it will be 33 years for me.  I have good days and fair days and not so good 
days, yet I am always glad to say that tomorrow is yet another day.  I have 
never ever let my blindness be a road block, just another avenue to take in 
order to get the job done.  Everyday is a learning experience and an 
opportunity for successes and failures.  Like it or not, mistakes and 
failures we face as a blind person are nothing but lessons and challenges to 
teach us the right path in life.  You know the saying, "What doesn't kill us 
only makes us stronger."  I am a firm believer in that.

Trust me, when you stop looking for that missing piece of pottery, you'll be 
surprised when all of a sudden it is tucked away in that one special place 
just waiting to be found.  Benn there, done that, and have way too many 
t-shirts!
