I am so happy to hear the good news about your eye situation! I know that you are so relieved. Definitely enjoy the holidays and treat yourself to some rest and relaxation.
I think you are very wise to postpone the degree for now. Your eye situation is more important and needs to heal and that may take some time.
Take care of yourself!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
