I occasionally get apthous ulcers in my mouth. Basically they are small shallow white spots that are very painful and take weeks to heal fully. So I am on day 4 of my most recent ulcer. Ugh!!
It is in a weird spot so it hurts to smile, or talk. It hurts to eat or drink anything. It hurt to brush my teeth, or to even touch my face near my mouth (even though the ulcer is in my mouth it is sore enough that any pressure hurts
It feels like 1/2 my mouth is swollen and raw and painful. If you look in my mouth the white patch is about 4mm. WHAT?!? That tiny thing is causing all this pain and suffering?!? How is that possible??
So this lead to a (slightly) deep thought. What else is it in my life that is a small thing but is causing a disproportionately large amount of pain and discomfort and suffering. What else is temporarily a painful time, but will pass eventually and be nothing more than a bad memory??
I don't have a lot of answers. Thing is that when you are in the middle of something painful it is hard to see that it is temporary. To keep perspective and to keep one eye on the horizon for better days.
So what is good in my life?!? Glad you asked!!
