God of the Handkerchiefs, Spirit of the Humidifers,
As my throat increases in scratchiness,
And the chills and aches invade my space,
May your strength fill my cells with health.
Hear my lament: “Nooooooooooooo! Achoo!”
*Cough Cough*
“UGH!”
If this is, indeed, an illness,
May this be brief, and my I gain my strength back soon.
Give me the patience to rest.
May my schedule be light this week
And my tasks few
So that I can nurse myself back to health.
If this happens to be a false alarm,
May I pay attention to my body
And avoid the plague like the plague.
Amen.

Amen to every line of this prayer. And thanks for the laughter! Two years ago I had a six month cold, flu, COPD, cardiac complication sickness, and I am a wee bit paranoid of every sniffle and internally grumble at every person who shows up sick and germy into my space. I need to laugh at that fear. thank you.
Yes, yes, and yes 🙂
