gratitude on Sundays
My Nan was blind - she was diabetic and slowly the disease 'ate' away at her eyes and she slowly became blind. There is not a time that I can remember her being able to see. I am very grateful that I have my sight - without that, I would not be able to see the beauty of my garden nor would I be able to read the lovely blogs out there. so this week I am grateful for my eyes & my sight.

That is too bad what happened to your nan. Diabetes really is a bad thing to have.
I just came over from Tea and Sympathy. You have a very nice blog.
Miss*R,
My girlfriend has just been told she too has Diabetes and she is looking towards it in a very positive view and now is trying to stop it in its tracks I hope she can do it. she is a real fighter.
How sad your grandmother went blind but I am sure she would read this today knowing she set lessons for you and others, knowledge that was not available about this back then. I honour your gandmother with all my heart.
When my mom was diagnosed with macular degeneration, she said she would rather die than go blind. I thought that was a tad over-reactive. I guess because she lived alone and walked everywhere for shopping and read like a maniac, that it would be a difficult transition for her. Thank God, she has not progressed badly, and she can still do the daily things she likes to do. We all deal with what we're given. You must have a lot of your grandmother in you.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. It's nice to meet another Southern Hemisphere blog ans see all your beautiful art work. Like the balloons tugging heart strings below.
Oh YES, I too am so thankful for my eyesight and for my hands.
Sad about your Nan, bless her heart!
We just don't realize how lucky we are to have all our senses...we often times take them for granted until it's taken away from us. My mom has macular degeneration and she's terrified of ending up blind. She also has cataracts and will have to have those removed eventually. I worry for her! xoxox
Thank you for that post. I sometimes need reminders of all I have to be grateful for.
My Dad was diabetic. He didn't go blind but he had constant infections because his circulation was so poor.
PS I like your cook book blog too - can't wait to try some of those cake recipes.
Sweetie, that's so sad about your Nan. I, too am very grateful for my vision. My late grandmother also suffered from diabetes and I have a huge fear of developing it and having problems with my eyesight. Because if I had to lose one of my senses, eyesight would not be my preference. xo
Oh yes so true, it's something I'm very grateful for as well! It must be so hard to be blind. Bless!
mmm , yes. I am glad for my sight too.
Thank you for this message as a reminder to count that as a blessing today.
