On hindsight my eyesight could be called narrowmindedness due to periods of shortsightedness Any stubbornness or obsession is called a one-track mind due to my blind side The myopia and monomania could be called intransigence due to possible intolerance My tendency to fixate and over-concentrate could be called constricted vision definitely a form of tunnel vision No I am not proud of this all character defects I wish would never come to light but I must continue to fight April 27, 2018 Tunnel Vision Contest N/A

I've tried for years to control such OCD tendencies, Susan. As you say, we are works in progress. Really enjoyed this one and could relate! Best wishes in the contest. Carolyn
