Old Surroundings become New, with my new face.

25 09 2007

I picked up my new glasses yesterday.  Before, I was in denial about having to wear glasses.  “Only at Night, when I drive” I told myself.

As I sit at the counter and slid on the glasses for the first time, all of the sudden the world around me became crystal clear.  I was speechless.

I took them off and put them on again, wow, it was that bad?

Driving home was a whole different experience.  Signs seemed to jump out right in my face, car lights didn’t seem so bright, and it seemed I can see for miles.  I was in awe.

In the evening, my sweetie commented back to when I backed into a tree at our house one night; “maybe this is why you backed into the tree.”

Hummmmm“ I said, pondering at the thought.  It wasn’t because the night was too dark, or it was my poor driving ability, it was because I just couldn’t see it.

We have a small TV in our kitchen, and we usually have it on to watch the news during dinner.  I remember thinking in the past, we need to get a bigger TV so I can see it better from where I sit at the table.  I slipped on the glasses, and looked at the TV.   The screen became crystal clear. 

I think I am going to enjoy my new face, I thought to myself, happy I don’t have to go out and buy another TV.  :)
