It had been my experience that sometimes when I wa

It had been my experience that sometimes when I was very tired my vision became blurred. However, about a month ago I noticed that this blurry vision was occurring regularly. In order to read anything or work on my computer, I found myself squinting, or worse, doing that winking thing 😉 (IYKYK).

I’d had a pair of reading glasses 👓 for a couple of years that I only used when reading my Bible due to this particular Bible’s font and point size, and thought using those glasses would help. It didn’t. I then pulled out glasses I purchased a year earlier from one of those online eyeglasses websites that I’d put away because they were too strong. When I put them on, the squinting and winking ceased, but I was getting headaches so I knew that was only a temporary solution.

First thing January 2 I went to the optical shop to have my eyes checked and a couple of hours later I left with these babies, and my word for the year: VISION. 🤓

I know vision was a popular choice for word of the year in 2020, but we see how well that turned out hindsight being 20/20 and all.😝🙃

Vision is defined as:
1). The state of being able to see
2). The ability to think about or plan the future with imagination or wisdom.
3). An experience of seeing someone or something in a dream or trance
a.    a vivid mental image, especially a fanciful one of the future.
4). A thought, concept, or object formed by the imagination
a.    unusual discernment or foresight
b.   mode of seeing and conceiving
Synonyms: conceive; dream; envisage; envision; fancy; imagine; picture; see; visualize

Here’s to 2021 and the ability to see, and conceive and plan a future with imagination and wisdom and unusual discernment and foresight. 💫
Do you choose a word/theme for the year? If so, share it in the comments.

Happy 1st Day of Winter ❄️ (and 4 days til Christmas! How’s that Christmas shopping going? 🎁)

DYK: Riga has recognized as the home of the first decorated Christmas tree. 🎄🇱🇻

According to legend, the tradition began on Christmas Eve in 1510 when a bunch of rowdy merchants brought a large pine tree to Riga’s Blackheads’ House – a clubhouse for unmarried merchants – and covered it with flowers.

Whether the legend is true or not, Rigaeans enjoy playing along with it, and the city hosts an annual open-air art installation featuring a variety of artistic interpretations of the Christmas tree displayed around Riga. 🖼🎄

There is also a lot of art around Riga that celebrates not just Christmas trees, but winter, in general, which isn’t very strange when you consider Latvia’s pagan history and the fact that Christmas is a mixture of pagan and Christian customs.
