The New Specs

Last week I blipped about our adventures at the eye clinic. I was really surprised when they called today and said my new glasses were ready. I love them!

It's really challenging for me to take my own photo in a mirror without having the camera up to my face. But - mission accomplished, finally, and the beauty is, I can crop out all those chins!!! I suppose I could use the clone tool on the wrinkles, but I don't care to - I earned them all.

Everyone should be born into this world happy
and loving everything.
But in truth it rarely works that way.
For myself, I have spent my life clamoring toward it.
Hallelujah, anyway I'm not where I started!
And have you too been trudging like that, sometimes
almost forgetting how wondrous the world is
and how miraculously kind some people can be?
And have you too decided that probably nothing important
is ever easy?
Not, say, for the first sixty years.
Hallelujah, I'm sixty now, and even a little more,
and some days I feel I have wings
