Thankful Thursday

I can't believe it is Thursday again already! My how time flies! Today I am very thankful for my hearing. I am not blessed with the ability to hear everything as most of you are, but I can hear lots of things, and I delight in all the sounds of spring, as well as the everyday sounds. As a child, we discovered I wasn't hearing everything I was supposed to, and after extensive research found that I can hear only 80% in my right ear and 05% in my left. My family hated it because I was constantly saying "What?" (Cauley probably hates that too.) Anyhow, I can hear lots of things and as I sit here typing (which has been a while now because I never learned to type right) I can hear the birds singing outside, airplanes flying overhead, cars and trucks driving down the big road by our house, Dallin sneaking food out of the pantry (DALLIN!), dogs barking, and children playing outside. Most of these are pleasing, but what a blessing to be able to hear these wonderful sounds! In situations like mine, you learn to not take advantage of the small, everyday things. Let's "hear it" for our ears!;)
