Did you know that time could be distracted? When everyday is a Disneyland kind of day, tomorrow becomes next week.

This is in response to The Daily Post’s Weekly Writing Challenge.
Chronic Pain, does have an odd way of warping the sense of time. It’s too easy to lose track of the hours, the days, and too soon weeks become months. Before you know it, pain free days are fleeting memories, a thing of the distant past.

It really has a strange effect. When I’m in pain I can’t imagine a good day, when I have a good day, the bad days seem so distant and dream like.

Our brains are phenomenal like that! Their own built in coping mechanism. Even if it doesn’t seem like much of one to us.

Pain is like a squatter in your life. I felt like I needed to give it my full attention and that just made it hang around longer. It finally moved on (for the most part) or I did. Hope you’re feeling better.
