I am
cranky, my dear poets and storytellers. Constant throbbing pain has that
effect on me. Sometimes, my crankiness tries to get the better of me, nudges me
to glare and bare my teeth at random people. Then I remind myself of the good
things: My insurance pays for all these surgeries, my body and mind can
withstand the physical trauma and mental stress, my spouse adores me, spring
will be here soon (and
I’ll get to garden!), I
have excellent friends, I’m not alone…

Constant pain makes it hard indeed not to be cranky! I'm glad I've only ever had it for short periods. Here's hoping it doesn't last much longer for you! Thank heavens for the good things. <3
ReplyDeleteMy last pain flare up lasted a few days, but things are much better now. Somehow, every time this happens it feels like a few days last forever. And yes, "Thank heavens for the good things"!
DeleteOh magaly That must be so hard I wish you lots of love , light and strength Take care ❤️
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the love, Marja. Sending hugs right back. :-)
DeleteSending some virtual kittens. They can't even bounce fast enough to make your eyes tired. All they can do is purr for healing vibrations (which I'm told they're very good at doing). May you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm visualizing the purrs and smiling... Thank you!
DeleteI am convinced. There is nothing but 'good' flowing through your mind, heart, body.
ReplyDeleteYou, my sweetest Helen, are the best!
