Today I'm thankful for...
My senses!
Okay, the inspiration for this posting is going to sound really mean, but this is a place of no judgement, right? So, here it goes...this is Helen Keller's birth anniversary. I'll let that sink in for a moment. I'll even let the mean ones take a moment to judge, make jokes, whatever...
Can you imagine being without two of your senses? I struggle to communicate with people on a daily basis, and I'm blessed to have all five of my senses. If I were missing just one, then I would have major problems getting through my day. I would constantly burn myself by picking up hot things, I wouldn't be able to smell smoke caused by the fire that made the things I couldn't touch hot. I wouldn't be able to see the smoke either. I wouldn't be able to hear the firefighters telling me to jump out of the window onto their trampoline. And I wouldn't, um, taste things. 4 out 5 aren't bad...especially when you consider that I for some reason made up a semi-elaborate scenario to justify why nearly all of my senses are important. I'm glad this is a place of no judgement, or else I feel like someone would be making fun of this whole entry...
