About Me

My Photo
My name is Suzy. My first guide dog was Mirage, she retired to Mari in February 2013. Pilgrim is my second guide dog. We are graduates of Guide Dogs for the Blind.I have a progressive degenerative genetic eye condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa and I see as if through a keyhole. I am thankful for my remaining eyesight. I appreciate the companionship and mobility Mirage and Pilgrim bring to my life.

Wishing

I wish I felt better.
On so many levels I feel stuck.
Lately I am wondering, if i could drive what would i do that I am not currently "able" to do,
The car is a metaphor.
Well I would go by plants! That is what popped into my head :-/ really?
Today, upon awakening my first thought was to travel. Dan works from Tuesday until Saturday. After seeing him off i would go and stay somewhere like a coast cabin or a forest.
This thought brings insight. When Dan is not home my life feels vacant of purpose.
Yes I fill my days with exercise and chores. I could clean 3 hours a day!
I want to feel Happy and Free.
And so a self blessing:

I know the feeling...I live alone, so it is my Guide Dog, Mindy who gives me the feeling of purpose that we all so need. Some days I could use more.
Your blog has given me some...I have started at the beginning, and you have inspired me to start my own blog. I am about to reveive my 2nd dog very soon, but I have started with the amazing first one.

Let your dog sleep on the bed with you while your Dan is gone, it won't kill her, and it sure will make you feel better! I do it every night, no harm done, I just say "up! up!" so it's under my command. We snuggle, I belly scratch, we are there for eachother.
HAng in there!
