Mood icons

I realized today that LJ doesn't have a predefined mood for "pain-free". I suppose for most people, the fact that there is a mood for "sore" pretty much covers it: most of the time they're not hurting, so they mention the times when they are. That really is backwards for chronic pain folks, though. We could make special note of those wonderful times when we AREN'T hurting. Ah, gentle reader, can you bring to mind how wonderful it is to NOT HURT? How it's like a vacation and a beautiful day and a song you like, all rolled into one? And there's no predefined mood for it.

(Not that "sore" is a mood, really. But if they're gonna have "exanimate" in there I fully support the inclusion of "sore".)

Good days are worth celebrating! :-) I'm sorry to hear that you don't have any truly pain-free time, though. That's a rotten deal.
