You sound pretty good mnt_dreams. Good for you on the lights!
One of my friends sent me a text recently that said..."Pain is a lens, sometimes focusing, other times blurring the events of our lives. It all depends upon the distance."
The distance from the causative event. When you're close to the pain, it blurrs. When you're farther from the pain (via time), it focuses.
"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.
