Great things about being blind. The kindness of the starbucks worker.

This morning on our way to yoga class, a woman approached us on the street to say that she worked at the starbucks near me. I had gone in there a few weeks back looking for one of their braille gift cards. They didn't have any left. In the mean time, I did find one at another store. But, this morningg she approached me, introduced herself, and said that she had gotten some more of the braille cards and had put a couple in the back for me if I needed one. I thought it was most kind and thoughtful of her. "After all," she said, "You need it more than the sighted people do. It makes it much easier for you to know what cards are in your wallet and which one the starbucks card is." She is so right. I do appreciate her kindness and thoughtfulness.

Great things about being blind. Braille gift cards.

The other day, I got a gift card from starbucks. I have a few of these gift cards. I have had them for coffee shops and other food places, for book stores, and more. They are flat and smooth and I have to really keep them straight so I don't pull out the wrong one at the wrong time or place. but, this new starbucks card says in braille starbucks across it. Thank you starbucks. I wish every store would do this. Now, I can put my hand in my wallet and feel and read which card it is. Oh to have the day when they are all like that and I don't have to label them or put them in order myself.
