I LOVE HELEN KELLER! Since I read her book when I was 11 years old, she has been a great influence in my life. I love to look up her quotes and her writings on the internet, and I photocopied the little book she wrote and glued it into my journal when I was 12 years old. I will have to try to find that old journal so I can read that book again. It is a very rare find. Now you have inspired me to search online for a used copy of the book. I would love to own a copy. Wouldn't you? <BR/>Blessings to you and your beautiful family, Mel. <BR/>BluebirdyBluebirdyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443245849821593007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054594798489525410.post-40872892859680616662008-01-18T13:08:00.000-08:002008-01-18T13:08:00.000-08:00Hi Preetilata, Oh thank you so much for your wonde...Hi Preetilata, <BR/>Oh thank you so much for your wonderful comments but as always, TO GOD BE THE GLORY. I'm sure glad that you appreciate the life of Helen Keller. The first time I read her life story on her autobiography book, I never forgot what she was able to accomplish in her extraordinary lifetime. So few indeed could ever approximate nor equal what she has done for the whole of humanity. Her life story stand tall and is a blazing testimony of what man can do even with such tremendous handicaps. Thanks for coming and for your wonderful comments. God bless you and your family. Have the best time of your life always.Mel Avila Alarillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00166954063114607598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054594798489525410.post-4551009200551752342008-01-18T13:03:00.000-08:002008-01-18T13:03:00.000-08:00Hi Heiresschild,Thanks God that you are recovering...Hi Heiresschild,<BR/>Thanks God that you are recovering.

Being one, and being deaf blind at that, did not stop her from accomplishing what she accomplished in her lifetime. So few could probably measure to the kind of life she has exhibited and done so far. Her example in life will be forever etched in the sands of time to be viewed and awed by countless of souls for generations and generations to come. Thanks for the wonderful quotation. God bless you and your family.

But why do you have to see the doctor? Is it something that can not be handled without the doctor? I'm just asking my friend. Anyway, I will continue to pray for you until you are fully recovered. Helen Keller is indeed a great person worthy of emulation. She was able to overcome so much difficulties that you would think were insurmountable. She blazed a path than none could possibly equal in a hundred years time. The movie of her life is so touching that one could not see it just once. Thanks for your visit and your inspiring comments. God bless you and your family.

Had her mentor, Anne Sullivan, given up on her because of her mercurial and impetuous behaviors when she first saw her and did not diligently nurtured and cared for her until she <BR/>had favorably responded, the world would have lost the beauty of an extra ordinary soul who blazed her way through life's firmament and left lasting legacies that would forever be etched in the sands of time. Truly her remarkable achievements can never be duplicated nor replicated by lesser<BR/>mortals. She's up there in the pantheon of this world's great people.

She's really a great lady. If you have seen the movie about her life, "The Miracle Worker," you will be drenched in tears because of the great trials she was able to overcome to be able to interact with normal people. We're very fortunate that we have complete sense organs unlike her who was deaf and blind all her life. Thanks for your visit and your inspiring comments.

She's like a star that burst forth in the firmament of the sky to dazzle mankind with the luminescence of her life. Very few people indeed could do what she has done in the brief span of her days on earth and the memories of her inspiring life will continue to burn the pages of the history of the world's greats. How are you doing in Dubai my dear friend? I hope you have settled down and have began working again. Your last post was very philosophical. I hope you will expound more of your philosophies in life.

You know, you can get your inspiration from Helen Keller. She was able to overcome her lifelong disabilities and conquered the world with her thoughts and works. In the beginning it was so easy to give up on her because of her precocious ways, but to the credit of her mentor- Ms. Anne Sullivan, she was transformed to a very unique woman of her days. She was the very first deaf blind to fully graduate from college with full academic honors. There are many "blind persons" (spiritually, that is) in the world who cant see what she can see. She has opened the eyes of the world to the grand reality of life, how one can conquer so much adversities and still emerge triumphant and strong. <BR/>Thanks for your visit and your generous comments. God bless and have a wonderful and pleasant day always. Always see the world through the eyes of your heart.Mel Avila Alarillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00166954063114607598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054594798489525410.post-52217319203067236202008-01-15T12:57:00.000-08:002008-01-15T12:57:00.000-08:00Hi Byotipol, You're always welcome in this blog my...Hi Byotipol, <BR/>You're always welcome in this blog my friend. And don't worry, I don't expect too much from you because I know how busy you are with your impending delivery. I reckon that by now, your stomach is already very heavy with Jadyn. I pray to God that He will give you a very smooth delivery, free from any pain or hassles. I also pray that He will provide for your needs in this delivery, especially your financial needs. Just promise me to immediately post your pictures with your baby as soon as you have already delivered. Until then, God bless you with all His blessings in His great store house of blessings. Have a nice and peaceful day in Texas always.
