Taking The Temperature

Outside Cold:
Dark, damp, dank
Dreary, drizzly, dreich
Dismal, dreadful

Inside Cold:
Sniffly, snuffly, sneezy, snotty
Shivering limbs, sore throat
Sorry-for-myself

But also Heat

A steaming mug of goodness
Hot in my shivering hands
Soothing my sore throat
Golden honey, shiny lemons, 
Bright turmeric, zingy ginger

A beaming smile from my soulmate

And a vase of sunny yellow daffodils 
Sent by a dear friend far away

..and above all,
the warmth of knowing I am loved
which makes everything feel better

It's just a cold, and it will pass

  5. Sorry to hear that it's your turn to be down with the cold! I guess Bob was very generous and shared his cold germs with you! I did that with my daughter, over Christmas!
