I Am Okay

Every Day I am asked
"How are You ?"
My response is always
"Fine, thank you "
What I would really like to say is
"Yes ~ I am O.K. "

I Have My Sight....
although not perfect
I can still see the glorious sunsets, the antics of a puppy, the smile of a child..
and the most important...
I can see if there are any bugs in my food..

I Have My Hearing
even though impaired
I can hear the music that  takes the wrinkles out of my day ...I can hear
others tell me ~ they love me !
And every morning I can  hear the snap, crackle, pop ~ even if it isn't cereal..

I Have My sense Of Smell
although marred with allergies
I could tell if the house is on fire ~
or the baby needs changing~ oh and isn't it heavenly to smell that first cup of coffee in the morning ?

 

I Still Have My Sense Of Taste

I can tell when something has gone bad or sour....
Even though I have to wonder about my own cooking sometimes ...LoL

I Still Have My sense Of Touch
even though some people say i am really touched  ...
The joy of touching another , loving another , petting your cat, makes
you feel you are not alone...

I am o.k.  you see
I can walk
even though I may stumble
I can talk
sometimes without stopping ~
I can laugh
even when nothing is funny
and I can cry
anytime I want to.
In fact
I think
I am better than just Okay !!
How about you
my friend ?
