Eucharisteo from a Sick-Room
This week has witnessed a departure from health for this family. Ravaged by a hard strain of the common cold, our living room has been my world. Restless nights, classes missed, coughing fits, husband away on business, and now, an eye-infection... there is no time like the present to be thankful for:
sunlight to soak up ~ freckles on kitty ears ~ Dutch liquorice to sooth throat tickles ~ a husband to welcome home ~ free movies ~ tea, glorious steaming stuff that it is
an eye infection that appears to be bacterial, not viral (and the difference is sweetly great, as I can attest from last summer's horrors!) ~ prayers answered
the ability to rest ~ kind landlords ~ hot baths and added milky, lavender, jojoba goodness ~ a healthy baby who dances to mandolin and fiddle duets
access to clean water, water, water ~ friendly basket meals that cheer a heart and tummy ~ loofah sponges and their scrubbiness ~ family voices ~ a bettered appreciation of health and good sleep...
and lastly, an ode to Pippin-cat who is an ever faithful companion, snuggler and bug catcher, despite his hunger pains at 5.30 a.m. and his propensity to steal the warm spots on the bed.
Am I blessed, or what?
Hope you start feeling better, soon!
