UP, sorry to hear that things have not been good recently. I hope it turns around for you. I'm also due for an eye check up, but tend to put it off because there always seem to be a deterioration in my eyesight (I wear contacts too). I hate the thought of yet another prescription. I think half the trouble is working on computers so much, it can't be good for the eyes.
Hoping to be home early from work tonight, or at least on time.
Work seems to be taking over my life at the moment, I need to get a bit of balance back.
My retreat seems such a long way away now.
I've been listening to a lot of Eckhart Tolle teachings, I've found it to be very helpful. I have a note on the wall above my desk which says "make friends with the present moment", easier said than done sometimes, but it's possible, apparently whatever the circumstances.
Have a great day everyone.
