Fresh View, New Perspective

Hello Everyone! Well looky me I have remembered how to post a picture in this blog!

Its those little victories in life that really make us appreciate how far we've come in our life right?

So if you looked at the pic on the left, and its just human nature to do so , you will see that yep, I have some new glasses. Thank you's to all my friends who have sent such kind and positive comments regarding how they look, or how I look in them lol. Most appreciated!

But I find in additon to my new view of my old world ... I'm getting a fresh perspective on more than just eyesight.

Sterotypes and prejudgments... I've always strived to be a pretty positive person in my life, look for the good in all things even when bad times happen.. theres a silver lining right? When the optomitrist told me I'd have to wear glasses all my life now, I'm not proud to say I was feeling " Oh great... now im going to look dorky and get judged for stereotype of wearing glasses labels you".

Prejudging........that was my first mistake! I have found the reactions I've recieved in this new attachment to my appearance to be in fact the very opposite of what I'd expected. Its left me feeling more than a bit guilty for my self assesments and stereotyped expectations, whereas I never intentionally judged anyone I know who wears glasses, I guess society had me feeling wearing glasses was a handicap and boy was I wrong!

Having a clearer view of the day to day things I do I'm jsut a happier person, I am more productive in things I accomplish... I find with a sharper view I notice more things now that I may have let go unseen before. I do not feel handicapped for having these eye opening lenses I feel in fact like I am participating in the world more being able to see clearly and appreciate what I can do now with clearer vision.

So thats it, my little profession of ignorance... I let what I thought society's viewed stereotype of wearing glasses hinder me from seeing the real view of how wonderful a impact having glasses really is for society's citizens! Do you have any prejudgements in life you've found to be just the opposite?

Its okay my visions fine

I can still read the sign

a little fuzzy, perhaps so

but still clear enough I can know

eye exam I need to have glasses??

surely not! .... folks will harass's

Don the frames .. my view pristine

prejudgements wrong now I've seen

happier world when vision's its best

not a bad thing at all ....I'll loudly profess.!!!

Thanks for reading :)
