The Sabbatical

Just for December, in honor of Christmas,

I decided to take a break from worrying about health issues.

I will not worry about:

Finding a lump on my breast

Or other lurking cancer cells

Bleeding hemorrhoids

A deep pain in my chest

The tumor growing outside my ear canal

Aching joints

Wheezing breathing

Diminishing sight and sound

Swallowing

I find comfort in the concept of the body healing itself.

I think it is capable.

Unless I have messed up with all the pills:

High blood pressure pills.

High cholesterol pills

Acid reflex pills
                          Thyroid pills

Cancer pills

Poisoning my system

To the point it cannot

Heal itself.

Just for December I am taking a break from worrying.
