Vision

The past week vision has been a family theme. Last Friday my wife and daughter went to the Eye Center and inquired about contacts.  My wife for bifocal contacts, having worn contacts for years.  My daughter is trying them for the first time.  I got to take her to the fitting on Monday and was fun to watch her stay positive as she  struggled with putting them in and the wonderfully patient man helping her.   Her eyes are horrible and  she is very excited with what she can see.  Both sets of eyes seem to be going well.
My son has been struggling (I think) with figuring out what he wants to do with the next 4 - 6 years of his life.  I don't know what he hopes to major in but I think he can see himself on the beach in Fla for the next 3 - 4 years.
I was informed that a charity that feeds the homeless has a charity auction of bowls.  I thought about entering a bowl found a natural edge bowl with a nice feather on the inside and rough natural edge on the outside.  I thought that was a good metaphor for homelessness.  I finished the bowl, wrote up about the bowl (mostly while waiting and watching the contact fitting), snapped a few photos of it, bubble wrapped it and boxed it up ready to go.

 I was kind of out of time to mail it cheaply so I was thinking I could take it down and take off work.  My wife, who works downtown, said she would take it before work and I thought ok, not too far out of her way... I tried to foresee everything she would need but somehow she made it to the kitchen and found someone to give it to, but it never made it to the person that needed it...  What did I miss?  Should I have taken it in?  Would I have done the same thing?  I hate when I can't do anything but sit and hope.
