A few days ago, I had a really painful canker sore that made me want to avoid eating and chew in awkward ways to try to avoid having food and liquid touch the sore. I noticed it immediately when it appeared in my mouth because it was painful.
Then it healed. I’m not sure when. I didn’t notice because healing isn’t painful. It’s just the normal everyday feeling of having a mouth.
It seems sort of wrong to not notice the everyday goodness as much as I notice the abnormal pains. Let’s try to work on that. Life is good.
