My last post might seem rather negative. It was not meant to. It was to set out some realties. If we do not face Pain, look it straight in the eye, we cannot deal with it. That is also a reality.
You might be lying on a bed or sitting on a church with your arms crossed, hugging yourself, the pain coursing through your body. You will get relief. Something will work for you, some drug will sooth those hot, swollen joints, will pull off the clutch of pain from you.
Cherish those moments when you are pain free or the pain is tolerable, those periods of remissions. Hug yourself, hug your family, hug your dog! If you are alone, hug the wall. Stretch, walk around, do the things you were denied by the pain. Walk in your garden or in the park and smell the grass and the flowers.Do a jig - Becareful of those joints okay. Rejoice in the bliss for it is bliss for those who know such pain!
Sometimes the worst of the pain never returns. Kiss the ground and thank God. Sometimes that relief will only be for awhile and pain comes back to grab you and pull you back into its clutches. Thank God anyway. Caress those parts of your body which hurt the most, kiss you poor twisted fingers. Dance, dance if only in your mind and sing out loud. Sing out your frustrations, sing out your pain. Don't make pain be what you are, it is not.
This is my promise, life will get better.
