Connor's New Look

Connor had eye surgery (PRK/Lasik) yesterday so his new look is now glasses free.   Well, he isn't exactly glasses free yet, because he has to wear these dark sunglasses (doctors orders) to help protect his eyes in the day ...

and these awesome goggles to help protect his eyes when he sleeps (also doctors orders) .  --- Shhh! Quiet Please!   He is pretending to sleep here.  ;)  Just for me!  :)  

We'll have to catch him sometime without any glasses in a few days for a photo without glasses, but for now, this is his new look until his vision becomes clearer and his new look is completely healed.  

"Keep smiling .. it makes people wonder what you are up to."  ;)

MORE than just a PENNY

Just sharing my special couple minutes of my day with you and hoping that you too found a reason to smile today.


I found a penny today as I was cleaning the medical supplies out of the office cupboards.  It made me smile.  I know where it came from and it was a happy moment for me.

When we first started using the home infusion pump at SCCA in 2010 they suggested we use a penny to twist the parts together.  This penny was surely in that box of supplies for the last few years.

This penny was not worth much in the way of monetary value, but it did have more value than what the eye could see.  It was very valuable when considering what the heart felt.

This penny and the smile it brought me reminded me of this little poem I found last fall and pinned for a rainy day. It was a sunshiny day today, but I thought I'd share it anyway.  I love it!
