Blogging now primarily at Turtle Path

I'm finding I have far more to say over at turtle path than I do here, so I am making this hiatus a likely permanent retirement. We'll see, right?

I post a lot of links over at facebook, so if you know me and we are not yet facebook friends, drop me a friend request.

You can also follow me over at Pinterest as onemcpeck or go see my far less frequent tumbly things blog, also called OneMcPeckTall. I mostly list the books I've read over at goodreads now.

Pain is . . .

So, I came down with a cold. Had a massive headache Tuesday morning, thought it was a baby migraine, but by evening I was sneezing and snuffling, and by bedtime I was chugging the Nyquil.

Just as I was falling asleep, I felt a surge of pressure pain in my forehead and, in my typical fashion, I tried to mentally block and run away from the pain. Then a thought came to me, a soft very-back of the mind thought, which said, "Pain is just Nature's way of saying, 'Hey, you're not dead yet!'"

Funny thing is, as soon as I thought that, the pain lessened it's grip on me. And that was a good thing.
