hide from. You notice it everyday. I prayed I’d find a moment that would give
me a feeling of normalcy... that would be a blessing.

August 5th

I made a discovery today while reading my book today. When I wear my reading
glasses low on my nose and I looked over them to see in the distance, I don’t notice the
shadow in my right eye. What's interesting is that things seemed normal for the first
time, in a longtime. I think that’s because the reading glasses create a visual distortion
in both eyes because of the magnification, which tricks my brain. The lite gray area in
my right eye goes almost unnoticed. It’s funny how this little find made me feel
better. My first back to normal feeling. Finding this little quick fix made me happy. It
made me think maybe there’d be other things I’d find along the way to make things
better and a bit more normal, when it came to my vision. At this point, it was all about
this moment to hold on to, helping me move forward and stay positive.

I was also reminded today of how lucky I am to have my mom. She instilled in
me to appreciate life, to always try and find a happy moment in every day, no
matter what the situation. I’ve always found that to serve me well and it’s
served me well, especially now. She also told me, you can’t let bad moments
in life, take over. That doesn’t mean to say you can have a bad day or two,
you just can’t let it take over, because if you do, it will. You’ve got to find your
happy thought. It’s there… it’s just sometimes you have to look harder for
it. Thank you mommy.
