overcome

Last night I checked out Helen Keller's "The Story of My Life" from the library. I didn't have that book in mind when I went, but as I was browsing the non-fiction shelves it jumped out at me. I know very little about Helen Keller, but from what little I do know I am fascinated. It is so difficult for me to comprehend how someone with such limitations could accomplish as much as she did. Not because I think she was mentally incapable. I know that was not the case. It just amazes me that she was able to learn to communicate so effectively without the benefit of sight or sound. It truly was a miracle. I look forward to reading her amazing story.
