Day 282 of 2025 - Cleaning My Glasses

 Hi Friends,

So I've been walking around for three days with a fingerprint smudge right in the center of my left lens.

And I'm out here squinting at my kindle, convinced my eyesight is getting worse, maybe I need a new prescription, is this what aging feels like...

Then I clean my glasses and suddenly I can see individual leaves on trees again.

Why do we do this? Why do I live with a blurry smudge for 72 hours before thinking "hey, maybe it's not my eyes, maybe it's the literal dirt on the thing designed to help me see"?

Like I'm really out here diagnosing myself with vision problems when the solution is a microfiber cloth and three seconds.

Remember last week when I said I was gonna stop overexplaining everything like a jazz musician who knows when to stop playing?

Turns out I was overcomplicating that too. The problem wasn't that I talk too much. It's that I've been looking at everything through smudged lenses adding explanations to compensate for clarity I didn't actually need to add.

Maybe the sandwich guy understood me fine. Maybe I just couldn't see that clearly.

Anyway, this week I'm cleaning my glasses first, then deciding what needs explaining.

Will it work? Ask me after I find that microfiber cloth.

What's something you've been overcomplicating when the real problem was just the view?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita
