Joy and Grief in ICE Syndrome! And Life!

In an effort to post to this ICE blog a bit more often - since I'm finding so little time these days - I'm going to try to keep my posts short.   Just quick updates, quick thoughts.    I hope.

So in that spirit, here's a quote for everyone to ponder:

I saw this quote and immediately thought of ICE.   My last glaucoma pressure check was at the end of March.   The number?  In the teens!   Celebrate!  Next pressure check in August!   JOY!    My vision?   Not good - so little, no peripheral, a shifted, seriously fogged image for what's left.   And of course lots of consequences -or a hundred griefs- because of it! 

But by focusing on that one joy - the sustained low pressure - makes those hundred griefs scatter - bearable and at times, just plain funny!   (Ever smash your shopping cart into store poles, your car into a drive up bank pillar?....some of my "funny" stories!)

Think about how joy can scatter your griefs.  How can you apply it to ICE and your life?   Look for and live the joy.   It's hard to do at times, but give it a try.   It changes things.
