Spring (or a short list of medicines that actually help with chronic pain)

Spring (or a short list of medicines that actually help with chronic pain)
  • The sheer joy in the eyes of my 2 year old puppy when I am able to get out of bed today.
  • A cup of Shiho-san's homemade genmaicha blend when it rains for the first time after the end of winter.
  • The earliest stirrings of the lilac trees waking up along my street.
  • Opening all the windows in the apartment and leaving them open for a while to smell the western wind.
  • Watching the chives spring out of the balcony planter ahead of every other green thing, the lingering frosty nights be damned.
  • Finding all the empty fountain pens lying around the apartment and finally getting around to refilling them with glittering ink.
