I am in the hat business. I wear the hat of motherhood, the hat of survivor, the hat of wife, the hat of student, the hat of professional, the hat of creator, the hat of writer, the hat of intellectual, and the hat of mentally ill. The thing I continually reinforce is that I wear the hats...They do not wear me. :)

Clarity
Well here I am in my new glasses. Amazing how much clearer everything is. We went to see the new Harry Potter movie last night, and for the first time I did not leave the theater with a headache. Who knew?!
As I was driving back from picking up my new glasses the other day, I was thinking about how easy it is to accept something and continue on with life. I mean, my vision has been an issue for a while now. Things started to get fuzzy, and then one day I couldn't read bottle labels very well, but I just moved on with it...coping. Now, I suddenly have clarity. There is no fuzziness, and I can read labels. My sight is much as it was before middle age took me hostage. I wonder what other things I have let get out of focus? I wonder what else I am just coping with when I could rather easily get back to clarity with a bit of assistance?
It is very easy to move along with life accepting by denial that which makes life less clear. It is funny how we have movie clarity increasing by using HD and Blue Ray, but are we not always clarity is life is sometimes ignored. I think I sometimes allow too much distraction that interferes with perception of my life. I sometimes do not see my relationships with others clearly because I am sloppily living from surface emotion rather than truly paying attention to intuition and discernment that are both easily within grasp.
So my reframe for every time I put on my new glasses will not be a reminder that I am getting older. It will be a reminder that I am putting on clarity for sight in body and spirit.
