MED-HIVE HEALTH WEEKLY DISCUSSIONS - VISION AND EYE HEALTH #1

So now, let's get to the fun part!

@merit.ahama with her post 👉 Med-hive Weekly Prompt - 24 Hours Blindness But Hours Of Reflections 👈

Being blind for someone who have had her eyes all her life, that day would definitely look useless for me but I thought a lot about this and I think I'll make that day "a day of reflection" on my life and everything related to my future.

Congratulations @merit.ahama! You are the winner of this week and for that, 1 HIVE have been sent directly to your wallet. Thank you for participating and for enlightening us all with your perspective on the subject.

There are other posts worthy of an honourable mention and we would like to thank @funshee, @burlarj and @quduus1 for their contributions to this weekly discussion! We are united and strong in our goal of bringing health awareness to the Hive blockchain. Let's support each other in this noble objective.

Thank you all that took part in this health weekly discussion! 50 ecency points have been sent to every participant's wallet.
