the pain and the new perspective

Persistent and debilitating back ache has its upsides. Last night, in a desperate attempt to find out whether my bed is the cause of the problem, I dug out an old mattress, threw it on the floor and made my bed there.

I didn't actually sleep any better. But I had a lovely evening watching TV in bed (usually not possible) with a candle at my feet. And I woke up to an immense sky looking down on me through the window. It felt different. It felt like a holiday. With back ache, but worth it.
