It has been ages and ages since I wrote. For those who don't know me, I am Kim and have been totally blind since birth. I have always been an active person. I grew up in a family of active people and so was encouraged to stay active with sports. I was a paralympian and competitive swimmer for several years. I haven't posted in ages because my guide dog retired and I went to get a new one. I've kept my retired guide and so end up being more active because of it. All of us are. My retired guide is 11 and people say she looks better now than she did during her last few months of work. She plays a great deal with my new guide. They play tug and other games. I also take them both out for walks together. My working guide guiding on the left. My retired guide on our right. Also, I stay more active because I am going up and down my stairs with one or the other dog. I do walk them separately too. So just by walking dogs, I get more exercise, fresh air, and wonderful companionship. Healthy living does not have to be complicated and being active can involve as much or as little as you can do. I'm writing a blog every day about amazing things about being blind. I want to try to limit the stereotypical views of disabilities as being entirely negative. So, here is the link to that blog if readers wish to read it and share it.

Happy, healthy, and active 2011 to all and I promise to post more regularly.
