My dear friends – I am smiling to myself this morning and wanted to (hopefully) share that smile with you. I have been sick over Christmas with a lung infection (as have many, I am sure because these things certainly seem to be going around). It has certainly made for an extremely quiet Christmas for me although the good news is I didn’t gain any weight because I didn’t join in the festive feasting frivolity. With the help of a prescrption, some good rest and drowning myself with hot tea I am obviously feeling on the mend because as I was prepping my tea this morning this little ditty started writing itself in my head. I invite you to read it (loosly) to the tune of “My Favorite Things” from the Sound of Music.
Cinnamon & ginger
Lemons and honey
This homemade tea because
Coughing ‘s not funny.
Tried with just resting
And cuddling the kitties
The bugs did get stubborn
And cause more serious symptoms.
To the doctor
For prescription
Now feeling better
Is my future vision.
Garlic chopped into
The juice of a lemon
Sit for an hour
Then drink like a venom
Poison the germs
Make me better
This little gal’s willing
To do whatever.
When to germs bite
When they sink in
We keep from our loved ones
To show we are carin’.
Good news is I will see
Healthier in twenty-three
As each day goes by
My lungs do less out cry
With coughing fits
Just from laughing small bits.
So to conclude this I wish you my dear friends
Health and happiness as twenty-two ends
May new memories be joyful and free
And bring you a smile when you think of me.
With love, Glenna
