Gwen Diehn on Notice When You Stop LookingThanks as always, Nancy. Don't let the naysayers grind you down (paraphrasing the Handmaid's Tale). Love, Gwen

Nancy on Too-Bright Lights Scare My Visual SystemHi Darrel, and thanks for the comment. I agree about the overuse of dark glasses, which don't let our eyes adapt to the bright light naturally. I wrote about this here: https://dreamersight.wordpress.com/2011/12/13/giving-a-vision-lesson-for-light-sensitivity/. I think my own problem with bright light...
