Three more days and counting!

Thursday, May 17th, 2012 -- You're at another turning point in your life, but everything could seem more important now than it actually is. It still may take several months to gain clarity about your long-term goals, yet your current choices are instrumental in setting a new direction. Don't be overly concerned if you can't synthesize your desires into one single goal. Just allow your daydreams to flow without analysis; you will have plenty of time to make sense of it all later on.

This was my horoscope for today and I am posting it here to remind myself to keep my eyes on the goals before me and undertand that "All things work together for the good of those who love God" (paraphrasing). My mom, sister, daughter, and niece are on the road and headed south to me.  I am so excited!  I woke up at 6:30 and couldn't go back to sleep!  This is only the 2nd time the three of them have been here (Liisa is, of course, here quite regularly), and I cannot wait to see them! 

Difficult news from the eye doctor: vision in my left eye is no longer correctable with glasses, and while vision in my right eye is still correctable, it too has deteriorated.  The macula looks good, and everything else seems fine, even the cataracts don't look like they have changed all that much, but my vision continues to deteriorate, so I am seeing a specialist (surgeon) on June 7th to see what my options are.  I am scared (I hate the thought of anyone messing with my eyes!) and yet I am also resigned to doing whatever is necessary to correct my vision.  I need to be able to see to enjoy all my handwork, my books, and my photos.  Getting older isn't for sissies!

Anyhow, I have an assignment to do so that I am free to play the rest of the weekend.  Looking forward to a wonderful time!
