100 Happy Days: Day 41 Running Errands.

Happiness is having friends to run errands for you when you are unable to do it yourself.

Friend says to call her if I need any help. But then all friends do and they complain if I don’t remember them when I am in pain. I often ask them how they can release me from pain, it’s a cross I must carry it alone; all I need is to rest for few days and nurture the power to deal with it. I am not the person to take advantage of their offer and trouble them for every small favor.

But sometimes, it cannot be helped and I have to seek help.

My reading glasses spat out one glass off the hinges. Now, walking to the repair store meant daring to walk in my lane that is getting a new facelift. There is dust and pebbles strewn all over the street. I am too scared to walk on broken roads and risk another fall, need to heal first from the previous one.

So, I remembered my friend who will run this errand for me.

Such bliss!

100 Happy Days: Day 31 Painless Day.

Happiness is ‘experiencing relief after many days of pain’.

My lane has been under construction since last three months. They repaired the water pipes, made new footpaths on either side of road and tarred the road. It is very unsafe to walk, even for abled person. Besides dust and stones, the road is uneven. Everyday, neighbors complained of injuries, some of foot sprains and some of knee pain. I was careful and avoided going out but then, how long can one be confined at home?

Work has to be done, life cannot come to standstill, and one must venture out. I dared. And so, I fell too on my knees on a slippery footpath. The pain was intense. Homebound, I have suffered for 20 days.

Pain is the cross one must carry alone. We can share happiness, our moments of joy but pain has no company. Visitors came to cheer me up but they could never reduce my pain. I spend many sleepless nights fighting with pain.

Our body has an amazing power of healing itself. All we need is to take proper rest and let it heal.

Today, after more than 20 days, I have experience a relief. It feels good to be painless again…..
