That's Debbie McDonald's philosophy for living a life well-lived.
Debbie not only is totally blind in her left eye, but she's come through two transplants, and battled cancer and diabetes. But, her outlook is stellar. We would never know everything she has been through just by speaking with her.

Today we welcome Dave Page from the South Coast of the U.K.
Dave has been blind since birth. Dave went to a mainstream school, and not, as he says, a specialist school.
Dave points out that the folks who went to the specialist school are sometimes in for a shock when the real world isn't as accessible as it was in school.
We also talk about how both the sighted and blind communities should give each other a little more grace to create more understanding.

"Don't spend time thinking you're alone," says Scott Thornhill, Executive Director of the American Council of the Blind. "Get skills and build relationships."
That's Scott's advice for people who are begging to lose their sight. He was a little boy when the doctor told him that he may be blind from RP by the time he was 40. But, it happened earlier and now he has some light perception.
Scott often flies the friendly skies, and he has a couple of stories, one that will make you laugh and another that will make you think.
#ChangingTheWayWeSeeBlindness
Scott also has a warm and delicious hot cranberry apple dish he shares with us.
