Eyes on the Prize

The eyes had it today. Boris and I started the day with a trip to the eye doctor. It's one of our many medical "to-dos" this month. (Before we get too far down this fulltiming road, we want to make sure we check out OK!) We both passed the exam with flying colors and quite correctable sight. The only downside was trying to work with pupils the size of dimes all day!

Later at work I was dealt a card or two that - if I still cared - would have sent me spinning. Instead, I did my best to remain emotionally disconnected and just go with the flow. Boris has been dealing with similar situations lately, and he's doing his best to do the same.

Tonight, as we relieved our tired dilated eyes with a cocktail, we gave thanks that we have crafted our fulltiming plan. Without it, we'd be tossing about like boats on a choppy sea. As we expressed our gratitude, Boris spoke the words of our dear readers, friends and inspiring fulltimers Gordon and Juanita. Their words have become a powerful mantra that get us through days like this.

"Keep your eyes on the prize."

Yes, there may be fancy new frames in our future, but that's our singular focus these days, without a doubt.

And, what a prize it is!
