You ARE enlightened. I have similar stories with my glasses as I come late to wearing them (i.e., middle age). I clean them with whatever shirt I am wearing most times or water and kleenex or hand sanitizer if I happen to have any. They are not prescription. I lose them and break them on a regular basis. I have spent hundreds of dollars on replacing them over the last few years. I now buy in bulk and should keep a pair in the car, a couple in my purse, one under my pillow, one in the kitchen, bathroom, by the TV, etc. I lose them faster than I can do this. If I wear sunglasses while walking, I have to carry my eyeglasses in my other hand. I don't wear them swimming.
I do not understand why the font on websites and little icons on computer programs are so damn little...how are we supposed to see the links or use InDesign, for example. I am purchasing a magnifying glass as I cannot thread a needle, at the very least, or read the names of places in my atlas. I often realize, like at this very moment, that I am again looking through a fog. My vision is deteriorating and I don't have vision insurance, but I've been thinking that if I get a "real" pair and take really good care of them the proper way, I'll be less frustrated. After reading your story, I'm not sure about this. However, I DO want to feel enlightened! P.S. Does this qualify as a spiritual post? ________________________________ From: seventhray1 <steve.sun...@sbcglobal.net> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, October 29, 2011 5:13 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Experience of Enlightenment Two years ago I got a new pair of glasses, and I vowed to take care of them. Previously I would clean my glasses with Windex and any cloth which was around. With this pair I only used the ultra soft cloth and recommended glass cleaner. Still after two years they got so scratched that I could barely see through them. (I think it was due to swimming in swimming pools with chlorine) I finally got around to getting a new pair, and it feels like an experience of enlightenment. Everything looks different. Everything is clear and crisp. It makes me feel like I am enlightened.
