Mixed Blessing

Recently, I have been very aware that everything I do; walking, swallowing, chewing, speaking, etc., requires considerable focus in order to complete te task at hand.  If that focus is broken by any sort of distraction, disastrous results like biting myself or tripping, often happen.  It’s a very Zen-like condition that keeps me very much in the present.  It occurs to me that my condition, brought on by my disability, is just a more acute condition than that which others face.  To me, the final message is that my disability is a mixed blessing, if I choose to look at it that way.
