The Thaw

I’m in a good mood. Happy.

Not about any one thing. Just generally happy.

My friends tell me it’s been about 10 days. I noticed it about 5 days ago.

It’s been so long that I’ve been in a good mood it took me 2 days to figure out what it was :)

I expected the numbness to let go slowly – stingily. I figured the strong emotions would be able to break free first, followed by things like “good mood” much later.

But the numbness is gone. I did a quick check – probing my known reaction buttons for the major emotions:

  • happiness – check
  • sadness – check
  • guilt – check
  • anger – check
  • love – bloody, raw, battered, and bruised, but not numb

All working to various degrees.

I know who is to blame for the speed of the thaw – thank you :)
