My eyes, my eyes

I'm honestly not bragging when I say I was blessed with great hair, great teeth and great vision. These are things for which I've always been grateful.

My hair pretty much does exactly what I want it to do (well, except for turning gray too rapidly.) I have more than enough of it and even though cleaning the bathroom floor is a little disgusting, I'm grateful to have hair.

My teeth are pretty nice. I've never had braces. I've got fillings in nearly every one but I'm happy just having straight teeth.

I grew up glasses-free and was happy about that. My vision used to be perfect but alas, now it's not. I hate that I can't bring things close to my eyes without everything going fuzzy. I hate that I have to have a lot of light when I read or put on eye makeup. I hate that when I want to play "Sally's Spa" on my iPod, I have to wear readers to keep everything crystal clear. I especially hate that I find myself tilting things "just so" to read them (I don't have trouble with menus though - yet.)

At Megan's beautiful wedding reception last night, I went over to the candy bar to fill a little cellophane bag with purple & green candies. The lighting was pretty low in that corner of the gym so guess what? I could NOT see the opening to the bag and finally had to have a little kid help me fill the bag. It was awful and I know it's just going to get worse.

I really thought this wouldn't ever happen to me so to all of you youngsters out there, enjoy your perfect vision while you can. Your time will come.
