the woman with the vision...

OK- so my lack of blog-age is now over. I know where I am going with this ol' thing. I am going to use it as an outlet for me to explain everything eyes.....the good, the bad, and the blurry.

I'd love to give a little bio about my history as a blindie (legally blindie, that is), but right now, I am in a bit of a rush.

TODAY- is the quarterly meeting of Teens and Young Adults throughout AL living with Low Vision. These meetings are honestly some of the most exciting days for me and a lot of my fellow blindies. (OK- none of us are fully blind...but just go with me, OK?). In 15 short minutes, Dr. DeCarlo (my Low Vision specialist) is picking me up and we are road-trippin' to Talladega School for the Blind...one of the coolest places ever. My fellow blindies and I are in for a day filled with games, support/break-out groups, horse painting...yes WE ARE PAINTING A REAL, LIVE HORSE, and a campfire...and maybe some goalball??? (i will HAVE to post another entry about goalball). These meetings are so much fun because we get to finally be around other people who can say they understand...and they actually do!!!!! I have to run, but I will post pics and more later tonight!

PEACE AND BLESSINGS, PEACE AND BLESSINGS.
