I recently had 4 days of bad headache in a row.

I would wake up with the migraine, take a pill, wait for the headache to subside and only then start my day.

Sometimes a pill works fast, sometimes not.

Sometimes not at all.

But the morning I wake without the headache is the best morning ever. Even if the weather is not so good, and the war still going on, I feel exuberant and lucky.

Everything is relative.

Have a great day,
