[NFB-Seniors-Discussion] Question for the list

[Judy Jones]

I think a good idea would be to talk about strategies that will work for everything.  For instance:

*	Learning to become a problem-solver, transitioning from the “can’t” mode to the “how” mode.
*	* Changing your mindset on approaching problems.  From victim to self-advocate.
*	Developing a toolbox in your mind of alternative techniques, even if you never need to use them.  At least they’re there, just in case.  (BTW, you won’t jinx your vision by doing this for yourself.  😊

Hi You all

 

This coming Wednesday will be our second informational conference for 2021. I’m wonder if there is a topic that you feel needs to be addressed! Do you think there are any topics that never seem to get tackled. I’d love to see if any of us has either a great everyday issue out there that has… just seemed to be overlooked? Or, a problem topic that some people are generally too embarrassed to speak of? 

 

What do you think?

 

Here is one of mine: Background first- I have been blind for 57 years, and during all that time I’ve never met nor hear of some one who was… cured of their blindness, via fate of a higher being, nor by magic, or whatever. And in  bringing this up, I mean no disrespect to anyone. Has it happened in our lifetime? Is there anything written or other wise recorded to give us any clue to the truth of it? 

 

Respectfully yours,

Robert Leslie Newman

NFBN Senior Division, President

NFB Seniors Division, Second Vice President

NFBN Omaha Chapter, Secretary
