At only 58 years old, I can not longer drive. I was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa which creates blind spots and limited field of vision. After being independent and helping seniors for so long, the idea of homebound life just isn't in my book. Our senior center has great transportation within the city but the county bus line needs to be expanded to suit my needs. My calling is still unknown but I am taking baby steps to find it. Recently I finished a book on facing physical challenges which helps seniors and those who have lost loved ones (lifestyle challenges). Someone is doing a great job with a project to help those visually impaired with makeup and hair care. Maybe this is a calling for me? I am keeping in touch with her to see if my assistance would be appreciated.
