I was taking the bus today and complaining about my own life when a young boy about 15 or so sat next to me and was so animated talking to anyone that would listen how much he couldn't wait to grow up and be a photographer. I was mildly annoyed that I couldn't just enjoy a quiet ride when I noticed he had a walking stick. It soon became obvious that he was almost completely blind. When we got to the transfer station and he got off he asked the bus driver to stay for just a moment and he took a digital camera out of a draw string bag, held it right up against his eye and took a picture of the bus, smiled and started to walk away; him and his cane. If only we could all take so much joy in our lives.... *teary*
