April 24 - Something you are grateful for (Sight).

Over the weekend I saw this partially corny yet good movie called At First Sight. (All joking aside about the fact that Val Kilmer is one of my secret boyfriends). Kilmer's character looses his sight in chilhood and has made peace with being blind until a surgeon is able to restore his vision as an adult...unfortunately it also awakens his retinal bloodflow leading to his childhood disease returning and resulting in him going blind all over again (sorry it's from 1999 how can you be mad at me for the spoiler). I got super teary eyed when he sees cotton candy and remembers the 'clouds' from his childhood memory....it just reminded me about how much of my life is centered around the fact that I can see. I mean photography, it's completely dependent on this sense. Forget about driving a car, chopping veggies with a really sharp knife, seeing the joy when your loved one opens their birthday gift...etc... I am really thankful for the simple act of sight. Thanks for reading my novel. :)
