Glasses

I purchased a pair of prescription glasses today. Another week or so and I’ll be practicing with a set of progressive lenses. Maybe I’ll be seeing things more clearly now.

My sight was the first of my senses to start changing with age. Luckily the other 4 senses remain sharp and intact. I hope this helps my shooting abilities. I never grew up using autofocus lenses but I’ve had to adapt.

Each day I’m trying to work a little harder in taking care of this body and mind. Something I should have been a little more conscious of throughout life. But I can’t change what’s in the past, just what’s in front of me.

So let me get up and exercise a bit before I read what the daily writing prompt is and then some more rest.

Random Thoughts of the Day

  • Walls are just opportunities to hang pictures.
  • Being older, I get tons of medical emails. It’s Mental Health Awareness Month. I am yet to be aware of any so far. But there is some time left in May.
  • If I may borrow a quote from the band The Who – “LONG LIVE ROCK”
  • After months of retirement, I still have trouble sleeping more than 4-5 hours. Good thing I can add a nap during the day if needed, or sleep in shifts.
  • I wonder if anyone saw me working out if they would think that’s a dumbbell picking up a dumbbell.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
