Carol Perkins: The search Previous Column: A Humbled Heart By Carol Perkins I lost my glasses this week. First, my phone, and then my glasses. After cataract surgery, I don't need them for distance, but I can't read without them. I can't sew or bead necklaces. The highway becomes fuzzy. Wearing glasses has become a habit. Taking reading glasses on and off is a pain. However, for small print, I depend on them, which explains why I have so many pairs all over the house. I knew they were in the house because I had baked a cake that required reading the recipe. I knew I had them when I sat in my recliner that afternoon to finish a good book. I had them when I took them off, put on my "sleep" mask, and told Guy I was going to "shut my eyes for a few minutes." After those few minutes passed, I jumped up to rush to the bathroom, slinging my blanket across the floor, along with my book and, I thought, my glasses. When I returned, I picked up the book but no glasses. Had I imagined my glasses were in my lap? Two days later, I was still looking for them. When I went to church, I heard, "Where's your glasses." When I replied, "I wish I knew," my friends thought it was just a typical Carol movement. They remembered the phone. I heard, "You don't look right without your glasses." Looking right, I guess, meant looking like myself. Without my glasses, I tend to bug my eyes to see clearer. On Monday night, when Guy was rounding up the garbage, he dumped out the basket I keep beside my chair, and guess what fell out? My glasses. It's not that I hadn't looked in that basket, because I had. Guy had also looked there. They must have been hiding inside an empty graham cracker package. Losing things is common for me. "You'd think you'd get tired of looking for your stuff," Guy says when he often rips through the house to help me look. I reply with a frown, "No, I LOVE the search."
