Pain and Blessings

    Last night started off like any other, I was laying down ready for some sleep, and Cris was playing computer games and "watching" TV. I say "watching" because I don't see how you can watch a computer screen and the TV at the same time... But that's just me.

    It was about 3:30 or 4 A.M. when i woke up in so much pain I was crying. My shoulders, lower back, hips, knees, and ankles all hurt really bad. I tried to move around to see if a different position would work but that didn't help at all. So in an effort to not wake Cris up with all my tossing and turning I went to our living room to watch a movie. Little did I remember that I had nowhere to plug in the TV and that was why we still using the tiny one in our bedroom. So I just sat there, cold, upset, tired, and in pain. And What do you suppose I did when I got mad?... I blamed God for my genetic disposition. (HA! Bad move) It was then when my Valentine tree came to mind, it was also still up so I could just look at it and all of a sudden "count your many blessings" popped in my head. So I named them one by one. Once I had done so I felt a whole lot better, still sore and in pain but i wasn't upset or mad I was clam. Needless to say I apologized to God for what I had said earlier as to prevent being struck dumb.

So what are the "blessings" of waking up super early? Well I got to watch the sunrise, I did a little research on how much a intellibed would cost me (unfortunately getting that kind of bed would be about the cost of Cris and I going to school in Idaho), and what i can do to avoid this kind of pain in the future, and another blessing is that my parents live right across the way and they have a firm mattress that I can take a nap on. Life is a Grand thing isn't it?
