Finding My Muse

Style, Deportment and Poise

Braille is the highest priority at this time. Learning braille will permit me to keep studying everything that I want to from now on. It will give me freedom to replace part of what blindness takes from me. It will also expand my horizons and keep me more self sufficient, capable of doing things for myself, which is a high priority in my life.

Muse is keeping my mind straight, showing me that living a life that's true to myself will bring contentment, joy and peace of mind. Its guiding me to be the best person that I can possibly be, teaching me that having the wonderful life that I've dreamed of since childhood is within my grasp. It's available to everyone who is willing to reach for it. This is helpful in coming to terms with blindness, it gently brings me back to where I need to be when I get completely overwhelmed by this disease. 

Style, Deportment and Poise are to improve not just my looks and body, also my self confidence and to make me more graceful. I feel clumsy a lot of the time, there is so much that I cannot see, especially at ground level. Needing to feel more comfortable walking, whether or not heels are worn, is important. Part of studying these topics is also to improve my manners. To make me more considerate of others as well as to make me less focused on myself by showing interest in whomever I am speaking with at the moment. With this disease I tend to focus more about myself, and its a trait that I prefer to not have. I took charm school classes 40 years ago, even did some runway modeling, but I'm more than overdue for some brushing up on the subjects.

Quantum Physics and String Theory captured my imagination years ago. Somehow, I just can't let go of those topics until I understand them as much as I possibly can. The ways that this universe was made and functions just fascinates me. The more knowledge I attain, the more I want to know. I study them for a month or two, and then put them aside until I feel that I fully understand that portion and am ready to go to the next part. I may never finish studying them, and that's alright. 

Learning to satisfy my curiosity will likely never end. I hope to keep learning everyday of my life. I have always been like this, constantly learning a variety of topics at any given time, beginning from the time I could first read.
