Summer Cold

A  L  O  H  A !
" A rustle in the wind
 reminds us 
a fairy is near. "
                              Unknown







“It's a bizarre 
but wonderful feeling,
 to arrive dead center 
of a target 
you didn't even know 
you were aiming for.” 
                            Lois McMaster Bujold


















 " 'T is better to be lowly born, 
And range with humble livers in content, 
Than to be perked up in a glistering grief, 
And wear a golden sorrow. "
                                 Shakespeare

Having a cold
is what I call:
'Healthy People Problems"
And I have a 
doozey.



We forget how awful
a simple cold can 
make us feel.

It reminds me
to be grateful,
and to spare a thought
for those
[some of you]
who live with
challenges who live
with pain.

Hang in there!
Fondly, cloudia

  1. Aloha! Catching a cold is awful and the one with the cold knows how awful it is. Having plenty of rest helps to build up our resistance. Happy Sunday!

  5. I just heard a whisper through my morning breeze that a Good Fairy (keeper of all ills) is headed your way, to bring fairy dust and wellness to you! Aloha, Cloudia

  6. Low born and high born. I figure they all know sorrow, of some color or another.

  11. A cold can indeed make a body feel miserable out of all proportion to the 'severity' of the ailment. Look after yourself.
    And thank you (again) for the beauty and wisdom.

  14. A fairy? As if I don't have enough problems to settle, On Tinkerbell alert.

  15. Here you are feeling miserable, and yet you remind yourself to feel gratitude. You're a far more evolved person than I.
