STAY ON TOP OF THE PAIN

Stay on top of your pain... hmm what a concept.  So as I sit in the hospital with my dad I count the times I hear those words.  To support this, he is given a button to press every ten minutes to drop medication into his body so that he can "STAY ON TOP OF THE PAIN."  Now granted it’s warranted in his condition but it got me thinking... what if we all came equipped with a button to press that could manage our pain with?  Can you fathom having a little button that you could hit to give you a dose of peace and love?  Forgiveness, compassion, or kindness?   I believe we can all create that trigger with mindfulness and an open heart.  I DARE YOU TO PRESS THAT BUTTON.
