Headband or Reading glasses

Do you see it? 
Is it a headband? 
No it’s a pair of reading glasses used as a headband! 

I have now officially become that lady who wears glasses like a headband on her head every day because without those reading glasses I can’t see.

I don’t know when I got so blind but I do remember the very moment my eyes turned. I was 47, at a young women’s activity and some girl asked me to thread a needle and I couldn’t see the thread - couldn’t see the hole— the day before I was sewing at my house and I saw the needle and the hole just fine. I just started laughing and I thought this is it!!

So it’s been the last eight years but really just the last year that I have come to wearing readers on my head every day —- so I can read my phone, so I can read ingredients at the store, so I can make out prices, so I can read my computer screen, so I can read a recipe— it’s just crazy. I guess it’s just one more step in my earthly existence.

I should look forward to these steps by now I’ve had enough of them........getting my drivers license, getting married, graduating from college,  having babies, being a grandma ...so I guess it’s just the evolution of life —wearing glasses on my head. It’s what I do.
