“The
only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.”-Helen Keller
“Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible
to others.” -Jonathan Swift
Yesterday was my cataract surgery. Within
a half an hour, the skill of my exceptional ophthalmologist (Dr. R) changed my
vision to 20/20. Medicine is truly miraculous. Waking up this morning, I could
not help but feel awed by seeing clearly, experiencing more vivid color, and
having my eyesight fully restored. Today I saw Dr. R for the last time-he said
the surgery looked perfect. He looked even more gorgeous now that I could see
him with perfect eyesight. Before our visit ended I told him how profoundly grateful
I was for his surgical skill and gave him a big hug. Being a quiet and reserved
sort of man, this took him off guard. I am sure not many patients hug him.
The other parting comment
I left him with was, whenever he has a bad day to remember patients like me who
will always be indebted to him for the restoration of their eyesight.
It is appropriate for me to share today’s
Daily Word’s affirmation about vision:
Consciousness
I
see the dawn of a new day.
My
life is a reflection of my consciousness. If I am feeling unhappy with my
circumstances, I don’t linger in disappointment or discouragement, but rather I
rejoice in the discovery that I can change my life by shifting my
consciousness. If I don’t like the film that is playing, I can change the reel!
To
shift my consciousness, I examine my beliefs. Do I believe I am deserving and
loved? Do I believe I am one with God? I discard any unsupportive self-talk and
affirm: I deserve all the good God has for me. I am whole, confident, and
strong through the power of God within me. I repeat this practice
until my consciousness shifts and I see the dawn of a new day.
