One more post on my perceptions.  I didn’t need glasses until I was in my 30’s.  After wearing them for a few years, I started having dreams where I was wearing my glasses in my dreams and was seeing everything through the lens frame borders.  I feel like our own perspectives can be like that.  That we can figure out we aren’t seeing things as they are, and then find lenses and frames that help us see better.

I meet regularly with a group of women and we discuss various things, including the ways we limit ourselves.  We spend a lot of time taking care of others and have been setting boundaries so we are the only ones (or the ones any longer) taking on various responsibilities.  Someone else can take notes at meetings.  Or bring a card for people to sign.  Or plan the potluck Christmas lunch.  None of these things are bad things, but it’s old feeling like we have to so they get done.  If they really need to get done, someone else can step up to the plate.

We’re also giving ourselves more credit for the little things.  You took the stairs today.  YAYYYY!! That’s a positive improvement and let’s not belittle it or compare it to anyone else.  There are so many ways we can adjust our prescription lenses and frames and to see the world differently.  What changes will you make?
