What sense are you most grateful for today?

Just a few hours ago I was sitting at my computer with the window open, when I heard a splash in the pool. As I listened I realized it was our 18 year old small dog. She is visually impaired and just walked right into the deep end of the pool. By the sound of the slow splashing, it was clear she wasn’t quite strong enough to stay afloat for long and swim to safety. Naturally I flew outside and jumped in to save her. Whew! I feel so lucky to have been sitting in my bedroom as opposed to anywhere else in the house. Otherwise, she very well would have been found at the bottom of the pool.

This is why, today, I am so grateful to be able to hear.
