Preparation not Desperation

Preparation
Prepare your life
Prepare yourself
Open your eyes to the world
Prepare it for unspoken words
Unspoken actions
And listen.
There are many things you may experience
But are you ready?
Can you stand to bear the pain?
Can you stand tall when it all goes wrong?
Do you know what the rain really feels like?
Are you ready?
To feel the love put into this world?
To be wrapped in the arms of someone you love?
To smell the scent radiating from their skin?
Are you ready?
Is your mind prepared?
To receive the best of life?
Prepare yourself.
The world's wonders are about to explode and surround you.

Three Things to look for when Buying Sunglasses

Shopping for specs requires more than just an for style. Keep these pointers in mind:

Frame If you often leave your glasses on your car seat or at the bottom of your purse, you'll need to look for a sturdy frame, preferably one made of nylon or titanium. Plastic frames are good, too, and have a deep groove for the lens mounts, so the lenses aren't likely to pop out. If you can't tell what your favorite pair is made of, ask a salesperson.

Lens material and coating For scratch- resistance, glass is number one. Plastic scratches easily, but it's durable and lightweight, making it a top choice. When considering eye protection , lens coating is key. Polarized lenses filter out glare; mirrored specs reflect it back. For the most comfort in the sun, go with an anti reflective coating on the back of the lenses. This ensures that any light coming in from the sides won't bounce off back of the lenses and irritate your eyes.

Lens Color The color you choose depends on the function of your glasses. Green works well in both low and bright light, making it great for daily wear. Brown and amber are perfect for high-glare or hazy conditions. Gray, rose and yellow are best for outdoor activities, such as golf, skiing and tennis.
