Today I’ve had an optical powercut

I’ve lost my glasses and made lots of connections today, with the cooker, the front door and 2 people I didn’t know because I dialled the wrong number on my mobile. I lost my way, my normal perspective and the ability to write anything sensible on my blog.

However I gained a new perspective, everything seemed to have a misty tinge which was quite relaxing and I’m sure I had more time to think.

So, what have I learnt? That it’s good to look at things differently sometimes and everyone is much thinner than I thought!!

    Guess our world can be viewed as heaven or hell, depending on our perspective. Changing the viewpoint almost forces time for reflection, wonderful! I think I’ll start hiding other people’s glasses!

    Once I had recovered from the hysteria that overwhelmed me when reading your comment on Today I’ve had an an optical powercut I decided I now know more about blinded learning than blended learning. I also now know that all those years spent feeling my way in the dark have not been wasted.
    Please be aware that outbursts of similar comments could be a risk to health.

    Yesterday I was wearing my contact lenses instead of my glasses and found myself talking to my dad on my mobile instead of my daughter, who I thought I was phoning when I screwed up my eyes to ’see’ the screen. I had to think of something quick to be phoning him about! As a result I will be seeing him over Easter.
    So I guess the odd optical power cut can also be good for our family relationships.

    Thanks for your thoughts Anne, Eve, Alan & Kate. It sounds like we should all hide our own glasses and other peoples at least once a week!!

    Very insightful. Even our ‘rose coloured glasses’ can impair our view.
