I Liked What I Saw This Week!

    Hello...I'm not going to talk your ear off this morning...and stop clapping! LOL...The reason is because I'm having a little problem with my eyes. Yesterday I had a hard area in the corner of the inside of my eye. I removed it. A little painful. Then, last evening I noticed I was having a kind of cloudiness in my right eye.
    When I woke up this morning my eye has redness along the lid, won't open all the way, and is a bit swollen and sore...I guess I must have gotten something in it. UGH! So, I'm going to keep on trying salve and hot towels on it today to see if that makes it any better. If not, a call to the doctor may be in order...I guess it's a good thing I like what I've already been able to see this week...just in case I don't get to see much more!
    Here's some of the things I've seen and liked...starting with that delicious looking chocolate cake in my header photo. That was the photo that accompanied Velma's post on her blog, SnowflakeDreams1. She's having a Giveaway to celebrate those who follow her, and read her posts.

     *Giggle*...Protect that yarn girl!! {On Blooming Lovely's Blog}

    Saw some other cute articles in my Country Living magazine:

      I saw some things that were no fun at all to see, like the ice storm we had yesterday here in the New England area (Although it wasn't as bad as the ice Estonia had in this photo):

    I also could have done without seeing the flood photos from Victoria:

      (I saw this photo on planettreasures' blog)

     But there was...and is...some really good things to see too!

     So, while I 'doctor my eyes' I'll listen and peep at the Australian Open Tennis matches and do a little peeping at some crocheting. {I finished the big men's slippers though! YAY!} I hope you're enjoying what you're seeing this week too! :-]

Eyes

We take our eyes for granted
until some 'boo boo' mars our view.
Then we find ourselves short-sighted
with less things that we can do.

The thought of losing sight,
and seeing life just like before,
is scary, and can shake our confidence
right to the core.

To make our eyes feel better
we would do most anything.
Some eye salve or a hot pack,
even ointments that will sting.

To, every day, appreciate
the eyes that help us see
(and keeping those sharp objects
out of their proximity),

That's what we should be doing,
give those 'Peepers' some respect!
Especially since they get it
when we're sticking out our neck.
