I guess my goal is to tell people to DO IT!!! I had bad eyesight (BAD astigmatism in both ) and my vision was roughly 20/400 w/o glasses or contacts. I hated my glasses and because of my astigmatism my contacts never fit right. I finally did it (and they told me I was really on the outer spectrum of what they could correct, but I did it anyway). I was a worst case scenario (I ended up having 5 total surgeries but my left eye is now 20/20 and my right is roughly 20/25 or 20/30…and I’d still do it again!!!!

I'm not...not even close

This is a tough one for me (and is related to some of my other 43 things). Someone once told me that I was the only person who they could never tell what I was thinking…I think part of me doesn’t want to be that person…while it’s a wonderful protective wall, it makes others uncomfortable and ends up with me missing out on some interesting people…
Is this as tough as I think it is???

I’d love to do this, but I think two things are holding me back: 1) The fear that people will think I’m nuts 2) The fear that I will be seen as a sucker – There’s an old saying out there that people don’t seem to realize: “Never mistake kindness for weakness…” Hmmmm…I’ll have to think on this and then get in gear later on.
