If you remember this post: on Tuesday, I was knitting an early portion of a new lace pattern, ie a part where I had to pay attention to the instructions I’d written out because it wasn’t visually established enough to just wing it yet. My kids had just planted that plum tree (did anybody catch the earth shoes caption on its bucket?) and the whole wide world just felt so…joyful. And I found I suddenly couldn’t see the page clearly for how my eyes had watered up. Silly eyes.
It took about the space of a heartbeat, and then it hit me: wait. My EYES watered?!
And then yesterday they did it again. My eyes haven’t been able to water for at least five months due to inflammation, which is how I tore my cornea so badly a few months ago.
One more piece of remission slowly catching up to me. One more splash of joy.

I love when things like that happened. Better stock up on the tissues for the wedding then huh?

Yay! Who knew that teary eyes were something to be so joyful about?
Comment by Momo Fali 05.15.08 @ 1:42 pmYay! My eyes have teared up a few times while knitting, but they were NOT tears of joy……:)
Comment by Toni 05.15.08 @ 4:05 pmYes! (Arm pumping) Very good. Except that I first typed “Very God.” Typos can be telling . . .
