Forget the Cold

The idea for this blog came from Fred.
In case you missed it, Fred - yes our Fred - suffered from a very bad pre-winter cold.
When I recently asked him how he was feeling, he admitted to feeling better, although not completely healed.
I responded that he would soon be feeling 100% and, more significantly, that he would soon forget how bad he had felt.
I am grateful that I don’t re-feel pain and discomfort when I remember them. I can remember a joyful moment and actually feel the joy again. But not pain. You may know that you were in pain, but you don’t feel it again.
So, endure the cold knowing that you will soon forget it.

That is so true---I will try to keep that it mind next time I am struggling against the bitter cold.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, and to mild temperatures through the end of 2018.

Circumstances can bring back memories of pain. I was recently in the Whole Foods parking lot and I started to hurry across the lane because someone let me pass. I immediately recalled the horrible pain I felt when several months back, in the same place, under the same circumstances, I tore my meniscus. I did not want to relive that! But you are right. I hadn't thought much of the pain before that repeat circumstance.

I get a per-winter cold almost every October. The cold leaves in time but I continue coughing for about 6 weeks after, That, for me, is the worse part.

Pain is all in the mind. The challenge is being able to control what the mind wants you to feel.
