[...] one of those curvy scripts that look decadent, but you cannot actually read the words; especially when you’re in your 40s. I just didn’t have the time to focus on all of those swirls… it was annoying. But I [...]

I was renewing my liscence recently, and while in line I covered up my eyes to read the eye chart â€“ just for fun â€“ My right eye fine. My left, not so great. I will be joining you soon. I think my husband will be pleased too. He likes glasses.

Great shots. And Jaimee is right: the first one is magnificent. You mean you managed to take those shots without your glasses on?

I got glasses when I was about 40. Over what seemed to be about a weekend, I discovered I was squinting to read some things, especially infant medicine. I do believe I have added one more reason to my ever-growing list of reasons as I am too old to have children who are young.

I’m ending my 30th year, quickly heading toward 31. As I’ve gotten to this age, I realize how young 40, 50, 60 really is. I also realize that at 30, I can’t do the things I thought I would be able to do, I’m not the person I thought I would be. Will we ever get there? Does 46 mean that, despite bifocals, you’re THERE? You’re the woman you THOUGHT you’d be? I’m not as smart as I thought I would be, or as financially sound, or as kind…the list goes on forever. And yet I’m not willing to give it up yet. I’m not willing to say this is the BEST me. I’d take bifocals if it meant I was a better person…that slowing down, being more aware, waiting for the truth to surface resulted in the best me. I sure would like to meet her.

I love your guy in your glasses.

Great pictures! I love the way they carry through your dislike of bifocals. When my Mom got her first pair she hated them too and had to get the old lady chain too because she found herself putting them down and forgetting to pick them up too.

Find a cute, pretty, unique, one of a kind old lady chain to call your own, it may help a little.

Those bifocals are uber cool! I love that deadpan expression in the first shot. I’m sure my turn will come for bifocals soon. Glad to know I’ll be in good company!

He is adorable in your new glasses! I’m sure I need something, I’m putting it off a little longer…

I would never know those are bifocals. Beautifully written post and I love the photos along with it. That first one is my favorite.

Very cute post and I adore the photos. At least you made it to 46. Days after my 40th birthday I discovered the same thing. Best part was, the moment the ophthalmologist checked my eyes, she said, “Are you 40 now?”. LOL. Well, I’m now 42 and it hasn’t improved. I think it happens to us all at some point. I’m not old enough to have eye problems OR a baby boy who will be 18 in less than 2 months, or at least I don’t think I am. LOL. Glad to hear that you’re “seeing things more clearly” now.

You really know how to take a simple thing and bring it to a much deeper level! Beautiful post. And great pics!

Old lady glass chains can be quite sexy too. Love your words, love your photos. Like you, hate those little slaps the body clock gives me to remind me that I’m getting older . . .

love the idea that sometimes the truth just takes a while — that first shot of your son is hysterical!

I love this…”Bifocas are my constant reminder to wait for that truth to appear”.
Wonderful words. The pictures are adorable.

I have close to no sight or peripheral vision in my left eye…things on that side of my nose are often blurry if seen at all. I’ve never known anything other than haze…I wonder what my life would be like if it were different than I see it now.

Super fun shots of cool glasses and a cute cute cute kid!

It would be so nice to have been blessed with great eyesight. Oh well.
