I notice as I get older my body just doesn’t work as it used to. When I turned 40 I noticed my eye sight going down hill. I went to the eye doctor and of course I needed reading glasses. I got to thinking “What If I Lost My Eye Sight Completely” How in the world could I manage around my house.
I sat in my chair in the living room and looked around the room to notice everything that was there and everything around me. I walked down the hallway to the bedrooms and done the same thing. I went into my kitchen which also joins with my dining room and done the same thing. I sat back down in my chair in the living room and thought for a few minutes about what I had seen and about where the things I seen were placed. I then closed my eyes and thought again about what I had seen and where I seen them. I got out of my chair with my eyes closed and started walking around the room with my arms out in front of me. I did this throughout my entire home. I do this at least once a year now and I believe if I did loose my eye sight it would be OK! Not ok as in I would love to be blind because of course I wouldn’t but OK as in I would know where everything was in my home and would not hurt myself in the simple walking to the bathroom or bedrooms. I still need to take the time to count the clicks on my washing machine to start a load and also count the seconds it takes to the start of the dryer. I don’t know if I will be able to cook but I have closed my eyes to wash dishes before and done a really good job. You never think about these things on a daily basis but What if?
Thank you for taken the time to read my blog!

Great blog!
I think a question was asked on this site one time about whether you’d rather be blind or deaf.
I said blind, because I’ll always remember what my children look like, but I’d want to always be able to carry on a conversation with my kids even if I can’t see them.
I frequently navigate my house in the pitch dark because I know where everything is and I don’t want to wake myself up too much by turning on a light.

Yes this is a great blog, and we need to be thankful for our sight as well as all of our God given senses. I too over the years have come to lose some of my keen sight which has me now wearing no line bi-focals, I’m reminded with this post as to how precious our senses are to us and if it were that I had to chose to either be deaf or blind I think I’d rather be deaf, I couldn’t fathom the thought of either but to not be able to see would be so devastating to me even with me wearing glasses tend to bug me out at times.

Great post! And great timing too 
The pollen in the air here has really impacted whether I can wear my contacts or not. However my glasses make my sinus go crazy. So I’m in a no win situation. So my hubz and I talked about lasik..... I’m scared!
