kat/katlaughing,

I am "differently abled" in some ways, and your desire to experience a little bit of life from the perspective of someone who's perceptions are different from yours is very refreshing to me. (My differences have more to do with the way my brain processes things than with vision.)

In my opinion, when people do things like that, they develop greater understanding of people's differences, and I think, greater compassion and empathy.

I have had to develop abilities and ways of percieving that I otherwise might not have had I been what is generally considered to be "normal", and I cherish these abilities. It sounds like you have done some of this on your own initiative rather than doing it because you had no other choice.

Good for you.

Best wishes,

Carol
