I Want To Be Blind!
Last weekend, we attended a seminar by Bernie Siegel, MD, the well-known author of Prescriptions for Living and numerous other books. At the seminar, Bernie asked the question "If you had to choose to be either deaf or blind, which would you choose?" He said most people choose deaf, but that choosing blind might actually be a better choice.
Since then, our child has been saying "I want to be blind!" So we agreed and the day was spend 'blind' by wearing several layers of sleeping eye masks.
It was a tremendous learning experience! Hours were spent stumbling around the house. One time, in a panic, we heard calling for our help to find our child! While the plan was to spend the day 'blind', after just a few hours it was decided that seeing is much better!
I was reminded how blessed we are to have a healthy family.
