Ouch! I bit my tongue.
Last Friday I bit my tongue.
It hurt.
I've done this before and I know the drill.
7 to 10 days and it will be fine so I said nothing.

On Sunday it began to really hurt!
What is that law of attraction law? Focus on it and it gets bigger?

That's what I did.
I made it even worse.
I told one person, my husband about my owie!

Even though my pain level increased, I'm glad I did because:

#1- I love the attention I get when I am soothed by my husband.
#2- We laugh and he always makes me feel better by kissing my owie
and I let him kiss my cheek and my neck.

However, because I spoke about it, my owie hurt even more!
I felt like I could only move half my tongue.
The good news is,
I found that it was hard to talk, so I didn't keep complaining.

The only reason I mention it today is that I'm 98% back to "normal"
and with all the contrast I am grateful for the pain.

Yes. I am grateful.
Now I appreciate eating slower and savoring ever bite.

Hummmm........I had more things but I can't remember them
now because the excruciating pain is gone. It was easier to
imagine when I was miserable.

However I am very grateful for finally learning to really slow down
and savor every bite and now I really enjoy the simple pleasure
of eating.

Thank you for listening,
