A New Season

This morning I opened my eyes and knew immediately that something was very different. I lied there a minute or two trying to clear my head and figure out what it was. I sat up on the edge of the bed and looked around the room. Everything looked normal. Nothing was out of place, but something was different. I got up and went to the bathroom, wondering what it was. I came out and grabbed the hot cup of coffee that the nurse had just brought in and eased back the curtains, sipping my coffee and surveying the morning. As I stood there studying the the shapes and shadows of the garden outside my window, the shock was so severe I almost dropped my cup. I suddenly knew what was different ... I HAD NO PAIN. Nothing hurt. No stiffness. No aching. No burning. Nothing. I was standing there looking out of the window drinking coffee and enjoying it - like a normal person. It was a little surreal. I stood there trying to remember the last time I had done that, or the last time I had waked up and not immediately reached for the ibuprofen, or aleve, or something stronger. I could not.

It was a good day.
