So I recently turned 41. For about the last year I have noticed that I was having to squint and hold small print a little further back to be able to read it. I would think "Why is everything looking so blurry and hard to read? I'm waaay to young to need reading glasses." Complete denial. A couple of friends took me out for a birthday lunch and as I was struggling to read what they had written in a card in the dim lighting, I finally said, "oh well I'll read it at home." My seasoned friend said "here, try these" and handed me her reading glasses. I burst out laughing with surprise and excitement as I could actually read the words, clearly!! It's a miracle! Why had I not gotten some of these a long time ago?? All those nights of reading in bed, squinting in the dim lighting...Needless to say, when I left the restaurant I went straight to the store to pick up a pair for myself. Even though I feel old. It's worth it.

I love, love, love the picture! That could be on the cover of a magazine or novel. And I'm lol at the story of your growing old. You poor old lady. :)
Ha! I'm going thru the exact same thing. I should be getting my new progressive lenses in next week. I am so excited. Reading my phone in bed has become such a challenge.
Troy, it's nice to know I'm not alone! 40 seems young to have to get reading glasses :(
