I was trying to get to sleep here and while doing so i started thinking about how many hours in our lives is swallowed up by cluster pain. Then my mind started to wander to how many hours is taken up by recovering from cluster pain. If that wasn't depressing enough, I started to think about how much time is lost by worrying about the next attack. Surprisingly this was depressing the hell out of me. Now i'm trying to think about how many hours i'm free of pain. That thought was depressing too, because it's not a lot of time. I brooded and started to feel sorry for myself. Then something clicked and I thought about what life would be like if I was never free from pain. I started to think about what it'd be like if I was completely alone, and never free from pain. Somehow that small amount of pain free time seemed like Gold.
Yep, that's it. Aren't you glad you wasted some of your pain free time reading this one? I agree so, go do something joyful!! Yes, joyful is one of those Christmas thingy words. Who cares go do it anyway!!
