Because, it is hard.

Good Monday morning.
I don't want to wallow in awfulness this morning, as we are all going through this awful time. Everyone is in this catastrophe in one way or another.
Around this region, we are expecting beautiful weather. The air is clean and fresh. I have gratitude for that. I have friends and family I love and love me. That is something no one can take away.
I guess what I am trying to do is focus on the good things because it's easy to fall into the dark space and even harder to get out of it. I'm reminded of JFK.
I choose to apreciate what is good not because it is easy, but becuase it is hard. Once we get through this, it will be worth that effort.
Let's get this week rolling.

We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard,

When I read the JFK quote, in my head I heard it in his voice with his accent

It seems like with my eyes they are weaker earlier in the day for reading but it improves as the day progresses.

Mornin! 
Had a wonderful day just hanging out with a certain lovely lady. I made dinner, she treated me to the most aaaaaaaahhhhhmmmmmmaaaaaaaazing shoulder rub ever! I swear my eyes were turned backwards.
We discussed plans to move in together again. been planning since last fall but.. welll.. 2020 happened. I wanna try to at least get a solid plan in place before the second operation.
