Just One Eye As it Turns Out!!

LOL - Well previously I was driving with my eyes closed and now, well its just one. After a long arduous year of tests, somebody, FINALLY, was able to tell me why I have double vision and this weird strobe light thing going on with my left eye....
DRUM ROLL Please!!!!!!!!!!!!! Superior Oblique Myokymia.... WTF you ask? Well, shortly it is a problem where my 4th cranial nerve and my superior oblique muscle in my left eye don't play well together! So, I have this rare neurological disorder shared by about 6000 people worldwide.. I am SOOOOOO proud, LOL. Good news, not life threatening... Bad news... Nasty medication. Works on the Wonky eye most of the time. Happy to now know its not MS or something equally bad. Don't cry for me Argentina! oh thats another story....What was I saying????

The Nature of Trust

Trust - Defined as: "Firm reliance on the integrity, ability, or character of a person or thing". Exactly what does that mean to you? Trust is sometimes difficult. Even when someone has shown you time and time again that you have every reason to trust them, the constant bombardment of our brain by media and sometimes friends, tells us we must doubt. However, we cannot live life fully and fruitfully if we allow ourselves to be infiltrated by doubt, in a world peppered with negativity and true friends will not tell you to doubt someone you know is trustworthy. So what do you do. To trust everyone is silly, to trust noone, sillier. Trust (yes, there is that word again) your gut and give the people who deserve it, the same trust that you expect them to have in you. It is the only way to live.
