Fighting a Cold

How do you catch a cold you don't want?
It kind of sneaks up on you and invades.
returning from visiting sick grandkids,
I find myself dreading any symptoms
that could say...You have a cold and
are going to be sick, sick, sick.



I don't want a cold, I have other plans
especially for this weekend, tickets bought
arrangements made to travel north again.
It's a 50th reunion for the BYU's Folk Dancers,
I can't believe I was there so long ago dancing
where did the time fly to...fifty years gone.


So, how do you avoid a cold you don't want?
Rest, drink lots of fluids, exercise, eat healthily
but it may still find you, when you feel that
first hot flash or queasy stomach pains signaling
something is wrong. Oh no, I have a cold and
don't want to be sick, sick, sick.

Feeling better but have a lovely cold sore on my face, and I'm off for the weekend...

  4. It's interesting to see how many people in our blog family either has the cold or is fighting it, myself included. Take care and have a lot of chicken soup.
