My first blog!

After three hours, I, with the help of Shelia (a computer tech with Services for the Blind), finally have my very own blog!
I don’t have all the bells and whistles but it’s all about words, right??
So…maybe you’re wondering about my chosen name…sightless wonders. Well, I’m sightless and I wonder about a lot of things But there are also so many wonderful things, feelings, emotions, sounds, etc…that you can experience without your sight…maybe even better without your sight. There is also one of my favorite verses from God’s word. 2 Cor. 4:18 “So then, we fix our eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary and what is unseen is eternal.”
Why just the other day, I learned what Helen Keller’s favorite color was! Stumped? It’s CORDUROY! Isn’t that great! It sure has made me rethink my favorite color. It was orange when I was a child then I switched to burgundy as an adult but now I’m thinking…dotted Swiss or maybe seersucker.

I hope you’ll join me from time to time and share your “wonders” sightless or not. I’m sure we’ll have wonderful times as we wonder along together!

Question of the day: What is your favorite color or texture?

Favorite color- probably pink or purple. Favorite texture- Not sure? Maybe linen. I just love the way my little boy's linen outfit feels, but maybe it's just because I love to cuddle with him any chance I get, and that's usually on Sundays! LOL!!

The older we get the more it takes for us to see wonder in anything. I am blessed to have a 5 year old grandson who see's wonder in most everthing. It is such a joy for me to watch him experience new things. His logic is so unincumbered by outside
'information' that he can see things in a way that us grown-ups just can't. God must enjoy watching us when we experience the wonders of His creation in a wide-eyed, child-like way.
