per•spec•tive [per-spek-tiv]
How would you define it? I would say, it's the angle from which you view an object or idea.
My perspective of this blog has changed over the past few months. At first, I thought I’d write just occasionally, and only of the most moving experiences. I would write about the times when I personally observed someone doing something truly benevolent. Like the dog rescuer.
Then, I decided to stretch myself, to make a daily observation of human kindness. That was fascinating and fun, until Steve worked in Fort Collins while I worked from home, alone. It's tough to write this sort of blog when it's just me, myself & I.
And so I'm not writing as much as I did at first. But today, the pen flowed with ease ~
Today I visited Dr. Brenner, my dear sweet opthamologist. I am scheduled for lasik next week, and today’s pre-op visit was perhaps the most important of all my visits, because the exam determines the laser settings.
Doctor Brenner, who is soon to lose this client, this revenue stream, spent extra time with me, helping me determine the exact settings for my ‘near’ eye and my ‘far’ eye. She tested & re-tested and re-tested again, to make sure we had it "just right". She also answered all my questions, and checked after each response to see if I understood, and to see if I had additional questions.
An exceptionally smart, studied doctor who cares and cares and cares is such a precious commodity. My only hesitation with lasik is the loss of my best and favorite doctor. Oh, but I’ll still need annual eye check-ups! Lucky me, I’m not losing her, after all.
