    1. Take life as it comes. Many things are beyond our control. Accept your feelings and frailties and other’s too. Be at peace with yourself and the world. We came to this world with nothing and will leave as such. We are not entitled. Everyday is a gift 🎁. Happy holidays.

  1. We all like a good escape from our life, like getting engrossed in a good movie, playing a video game, focusing on a hobby, or participating in an exercise or a sport. Cataract surgery is like that for me, only more so. No matter what is going on in my life, when I sit down at that microscope it all goes away and 100% of my focus is on the surgery. There is no more intense activity, and I feel grateful for the escape that it provides.
