Another title for this piece might be “pain in the ass” , or legs, to be more precise

I’ve been dealing with some sort of skin issue on my legs for a few days now. Thought it was sun-related maybe; then I thought maybe a plant or insect bite allergy.

Still not sure. Whatever the cause, it seems to flare up most in the middle of the night. Like when I started scribbling this post down.

This situation, it got me thinking deeper. Surprise. It got me thinking about happiness. There’s this fundamental I’ve thought true for a long time. At my best I love it well.

Much of our happiness in life depends on our ability to ignore irritants.

Lotion helps too, sometimes.
