Sometimes we don't really appreciate what we've got until it's gone. Then, there are stories that touch us and remind us of how fortunate we are. This news article and video showed up today and I had to share it. Watching the young woman in the video respond to hearing sound (and her own voice) for the first time is beautiful. It's a modern day miracle. I'm inspired by her and by the many, many people who had a hand in creating the technology that gave her a sense most of us take for granted.

What are some of the things you love to listen to? Laughter, music, birdsong, the sound of children playing, or rain gently falling. Perhaps it's
kind words from a friend or your name said with love. For a moment,
imagine not being able to hear those things. What would that be like?
Then, find yourself really listening, and appreciate that you can.
