I, too, can enjoy so much. It’s been a long process grieving over all that I “can’t do”, but there is still so much that I can do!!

I am gratefull for every bit of vision that I have. I figure for the useable vision I have that I function pretty damn good.

My biggest joy this past year has been taking a yoga class. So good for physical and has helped me deal so much better with the “mental”.

I am ready to move on and enjoy my life more. As a matter of fact I am taking a spur of the moment trip to Italy. One of my good friends has moved there for 8 months and another good friend and I are going to visit her. I plan on seeing while I still have enough vision left to see. I am confident that I will manage fine with my two good friends and jokingly tell them that I am going to teach them to be good guide dogs. It feels so good to have something to look forward to and feel like I am living again!!!!!
