The PERFECT sunglasses…
Going, going, gone… The day fades into dusk. My eyes are very sensitive to light, I see better at night. These magical rosé colored lenses allow me to look directly into the sun, enjoying the sunset. Yet, I hear my mothers’ voice,”don’t look directly into the sun you will burn your retinas!” That very sentence has fueled years of tireless searching for the PERFECT sunglasses, that would allow me to do just what she said I shouldn’t or couldn’t…. Opening my eyes wide, seeing everything clearly without squinting through a sliver of blinding light. The under-current theme of “shouldn’t, don’t, couldn’t,” imposed or shared by others in my early years is what has developed my curiosity/strong suit of “finding the answers, solving the problem, getting the facts.”… To my mothers’ dismay… When I trumped her “mother card,” giving her the facts of why I could and should! Now, that we’ve BOTH grown up, I am asked, “could you look this up?”…. How is any of this related? Determination, tenacity, passion, drive, curiosity, NO, sometimes wanting to prove someone wrong…opens up new ways of doing family, business, love, friendship, life…with eyes wide open and actually SEEING the world you live in. Funny, how my son has the SAME desire to find the … perfect sunglasses!
Good night…Sweet dreams XO
