Life Through a New Lens

I don’t like going to the eye doctor.  I usually end up thinking I am going blind before going to the eye doctor.

When Bob had his last checkup I decided to make an appointment for myself.  The receptionist said “do you want that soon, like in 5 minutes?”  I know when doors like that open to walk through them.  The Universe is usually trying to tell me something.

Everything turned out fine.  I just needed a new prescription. When I put on my new glasses I was amazed.  Everything was nice and clear and crisp.   I should have done this sooner.

We get stuck in negativity, pretending nothing is wrong and keep going until we start to become spiritually blind.  We can all chose to change our attitude, changing the way we see the world.

Trying looking at the world through a new lens.  What you see might surprise you.
