My mom bought me a 22 inch monitor today. Wow…I can’t get over how much easier this is on my eyes. She and my husband decided I needed this. I was using my old 17 inch monitor that I had used with my old Gateway computer since my 19 inch one died. The move was too much for the poor thing.
My sister had sent me pictures of her new grandson. When I tried to look at them, they were so dark. I called mom into the room to look at them with me. The first one I opened….yikes….all we could see was darkness and eyes. We thought it was a picture of a dog.
I was happy with my old monitor. I don’t do much on here and it really served my purpose. After seeing the dog picture, mom said I had to have a new monitor. Once she makes up her mind, I can talk until I’m blue in the face and won’t get her to change.
I’ve got such a great mom. I wish I could be more like her. She is everything I’m not. She is so kind, patient, understanding, giving and tolerant. Oh, how I wish I had those traits. (Sighs)
Another area we are quite opposite…I’m trying to get her to gain some weight,on the other hand, I’m trying to lose some weight.

I think being hard on ourselves makes it easier for us to want to improve ourselves, but sometimes others see things in us that we fail to see in ourselves.

Aaron,I think that is how the statement “You can’t see the forest through the trees” came about. I agree with you.
