I went to the optometrist today...

Since Thanksgiving, I've been getting really intense headaches that have been starting on the upper part of my right eye. I can't explain it...my eye just starts hurting and then it spreads to the entire right side of my head. It hasn't happened recently, but I thought that probably meant my vision was getting screwed up or something. So this morning I spent two hours of my life waiting around for the doctor to look at me, and when he did he said I was fine and I would have to go to my normal doctor. So 2 hours gone and god know how much money down the pit, I was healthy....at least my eyes are. Whatever, at least I got pics of my eyes dilated!



Also, when I left they gave me these SEXY sunglasses!




Note to self: don't wear grey!

Ten Rules For Being Human

1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period.

2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, "life."

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work."

4. Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.

5. Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.

6. "There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."

7. Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.

8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.

9. Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.

10. You will forget all this.

"Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate."
