The Blurry Brain!

It's easy to become complacent with our lives; to let the world pass us by, because in truth, that takes much less energy on our part.  As we get older, energy becomes a valuable commodity.  Prior to expending it in large quanties, one usually takes great consideration and thought to determine whether or not the end result will be worth it. Complacency takes no thought and very little energy.  At 50, that sounds like a great deal!  That being said, although my son is the focal point for this blog, and the reason we are going to New York for the month of July, I would be remiss if I didn't say that this trip was as much for me as it is for him.  Static is good for those times when you need an excuse to end a call, as in "sorry, I can't hear you, there is too much static on the line", but it's not so good in life. Sometimes things need to be shaken up a bit so that our vision of the world around us comes back into focus.  It's not enough that I have been relegated to wearing bifocals after having 20/20 vision most of my life, but when my brain becomes as blurry as my eyes, then it's time to take action.  No, a visit to Lenscrafters won't correct the blurry brain. That's primarily what this trip is all about.  I'm not going on vacation to New York, or going there to see it through the eyes of a tourist, but instead, I am hoping to become part of the fabric of the neighborhood I am living in for a month. In a way I guess this trip is meant to shake my snow globe up a bit, with the hope that once the snow flakes settle to the bottom, I will once again be able to see the world around me with the clarity I once used to.  I can't wait!
