Learning Braille is going quite nicely. Learning to write was a piece of cake. I'm building up on the speed of writing every day. Practicing reading, however, is a bit trickier. Since I'm learning "blind reading", I'm only using my sense of touch to feel the little bumps in the paper. I got the hang of it quite quickly, but I still need a lot of practice before I'll be able to read fluently.
Unlike with the visible writing with a pen, where you just use one hand to write and no hands at all to read, you need to use both hands with Braille. When writing Braille, you have to feel the cells in the slate with one hand and write with the other. With reading you need to use one hand to read and the other to mark the next line. I read with the fingers of my right hand and I mark the next lines with my left.
Another challenge with reading is that my sense of touch is not particularly sharp, since I've never had to use it before for feeling such delicate things as bumps of Braille writing. However, the more I practise, the sharper my sense of touch gets.
I must say that seeing with my fingers is quite a challenge, but I'm getting better every day.

M4H 4/52: Daily routine.
I am a creature of habit. I admit it, I assess change with a cynical sideways glance instead of jumping in with both feet. One of my daily routines is breakfast; I have the same breakfast every. Single. Day. I get in a breakfast routine and I stick with it for months or even years (hey, I like this breakfast). Each day I have oatmeal (in the same bowl) mixed with Maine blueberries, stevia, and cinnamon. And I have coffee in the same mug.
I get the best reception outside my apartment. Oftentimes after work, I'll call to check in. Are you on Cingular? We can talk for free.
August in Paris - the parisians have left town; insert a zillion busloads of tourists + us. The weather was lovely and we had a French balcony in the lovely appartement we rented from Claire. We started every morning and ended every evening sitting at the open windows, enjoying the Paris buzz in the streets and the lovely view of the richly decorated houses across the street.

July’s Above and Beyond Challenge was about daily routines: what is and what should be in my daily routine. Now this may seem pretty simple, but when I am spread too thin, I sometimes see things that I wish I could fit in, and then the things that I wish I could get rid of. It’s that ever long struggle to find balance. I have failed very often, but feel like I am starting to come into that place in my life when I can find balance.
There are things that I still have not found time to fit in my schedule each and every day…. But it’s about learning priorities and balancing things accordingly. This challenge really helped me see that the balance is coming and better than it was: not perfect, but better!

I mentioned before that writing Braille is done in reverse: you write from right to left and you have to write the mirror image of every letter. When you flip the page over, you get the text written correctly and can read it from left to right with the letters written correctly.
This is what writing Braille looks like. I learn "blind writing", so I only use my sense of touch to write. I have to feel every Braille cell separately before I emboss the letters into the paper. My left hand runs along the cells in the line and I punch the bumps into the paper with my right hand. When I come to the end of the line, I move down to the next line and repeat the process.
As far as the orientation of the pen within each cell goes, you get the feeling where and how to move the tip. You can also use the sides of the cell to find the correct position for the tip of the pen and then press down to make the bumps in the paper correctly.
You'd be surprised, but, as complicated as this process looks, it is actually much easier if I do it in the dark or with my eyes closed. If I try to write Braille by looking at the cells on the slate, I get totally confused and make nothing but mistakes. However, if I "write blind", I hardly ever make a mistake any more.
Oh, one more thing: you can see that I'm holding a pen in my hand. When I got the slate, I could not get the Braille stylus. So, a friend who is blind and has used Braille all his life told me that using a pen to emboss Braille works just fine. I use an old BIC pen with a medium tip so that I don't tear the paper.

Artist: Édouard Vuillard, French
b. 1868, Cuiseaux; d. 1940, La Baule-Escoublac
Vuillard painted domestic interiors throughout his career – comfortable middle class spaces, characters and routines that would have been instantly familiar to the Parisian art collectors.

I've put up some of my favourite quotes and poems transcribed in Braille on the walls, so that I can read them whenever I want.
This one is by William Blake:
"To see a world in a grain of sand,
And heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour."
