Can't Take My Eyes Off You

- Simone Kopmajer - 

Hello Beautiful World!

Today we finally got some rain down in south Texas where I live.

We'd been having over 100-degree temperatures for weeks already and all the grass everywhere

is dry-brown-dead, really, a very sad sight to see.

It was so hot that outside sounded like the Fourth of July with corn fields popping like fireworks

and covering the land in layers of popcorn as far as the eye could see. :P

But now let me take the subject in a totally different direction.

As I was reading a news article earlier today about how very few Texas prisons

are equipped with proper air-conditioning for inmates, it got me thinking

about some of the things we take for granted.

Now, a prisoner for sure must be missing doing just about everything,

even the smallest of things that we all get to do on a daily basis.

Everything from just sleeping on a soft pillow to being able to step

outside our front door and smile at the sun.

So with that sad thought in my head,

I started thinking that even people with physical disabilities lack the capacity to enjoy

many of the things we all are so blessed with.

For example, for someone in a wheelchair,

can you imagine how much it would mean for that person

just to be able to take a few steps every day?

Or for a blind person, to be able to see the smiles on the

faces of their loved ones. How about a deaf person,

being able to dance to the rhythm of a beautiful melody? 

Heroically, all these people with disabilities still find ways to keep enjoying life 

within their limitations inspiring others and becoming heroes

with their good examples of strength and courage. <3

Now I don't know about you if you are a strong and healthy person that keeps very active.

Or, a disabled person with limitations but still able to live a happy life overcoming daily obstacles.

My question is the following...

If we suddenly would find ourselves lacking our freedom, sight, hearing, etc., 

what would be the one thing we would wish we would have done, or done more?

Now I am not talking about something extraordinary like extreme sports

for example rock climbing and martial arts.

I am referring to the things that are considered small and insignificant

like taking walks in the park or watering our plants.

Because be sure, God forbid if one day we would wake up to find 

a lack of the freedom to live a normal life, 

even being able to look out the window 

would no longer be considered something small and insignificant. 

It will be something extraordinary that we would wish we could be able to do.

So what is it?

What is the one thing we would wish we could be able to do?

Now that we know, what is stopping us from doing it now??

Now I leave you with some of the beautiful people I had the pleasure of running into and meeting

these past two weeks. <3
