blind

do you ever have encounters that just make you feel like crap?

i'm sitting here at the best starbucks in all the lands, getting work done, when two teenage boys walk in. i noticed that they were holding hands. this isn't haiti, FYI. 

but then i realized that the one boy was leading the other. the other was blind. he collapsed himself into a chair, and then began to "text" message with his voice. pretty cool! but he just sits there and smiles. as if everything in his world is perfectly perfect.

sometimes i get stuck feeling sorry for myself. everything in my atmosphere is not ... perfectly perfect. in fact, most times it's far from perfect.

it's in these times that i find i get smacked in the face with reality. my world may not be everything i always want it to be - but am i thankful for what i do have? my sight definitely being one of those things...

not really.
