Pot of Soup

Today

is the day

I make a big pot of healing soup.

For myself

and what a pleasure

to have a quiet house in which to slurp and fold and wash at my leisure.

Still in PJ's and on the otherside of this cold at 3:45 pm.

I will shower and start my day now.

Pick up my children with a calm peaceful smile.

I'm grateful to have had a sick day at home by myself

It's much easier to recover when you aren't taking care of others at the same time.

For those of you who are still tending to tiny ones...

your day will come

and couch, PJ's and daytime TV, much to your amazement, will still be going strong....

even if they've been on hold for 5 or so years.
