There are times when my mind is seriously blown at the creative things in this world.  I mean, think about it.  People had to take the time to invent something in order for us to use it.  Their mind drafted up an image of a space or an object that, at the time, probably sounded crazy to everyone else around them because no one had ever SEEN it.  Isn’t it crazy how much we truly depend on our sight?  Without being able to see, feel or touch something we panic at the thought of taking the leap.  But the reality is, without that leap and without that faith, no one will be able to experience our thoughts for themselves.  

I think most of you know this about me, but I am blind as a bat.  Seriously, CANNOT see.  Unfortunately, I started to realize this on the tennis court when that little yellow ball would be pretty fuzzy on the other side of the net…and I do not mean physically.  Once I started losing matches due to my inability to see, I finally admitted defeat and went to the eye doctor.  Now, I was about 12 years old when all of this went down (5th grade?), so you can imagine, I was TRAUMATIZED at the thought of getting glasses.  I had just started at a new school, I was about to get braces, I mean…pretty much my world was ending.  SO, with that being said, I opted for contacts.  And from that point on, I very rarely wore my glasses in public.  In fact, most people didn’t even know my eyes were bad.  Until lately.
