This is my chosen cup to drink from.
I take a bunch of meds for fibromyalgia, back problems, hip issues, knee deterioration and lately shoulder pain.
I used to have just a regular kitchen glass in my bathroom to take my medicine. It would get dirty and yucky. I don't know why I didn't trade it out for a fresh one daily. It got gross and then off to the dishwasher it would go and another nondescript cup would move in in it's place.
One day as I was about to grab another plain old kitchen glass, I thought," I have struggled to add beauty to the rest of my life. Why not in this task too?" After all It is part of taking care of myself. I guess it is more important say than, not having chipped polish on my toenails or making sure I toss out holy socks and underwear. As a younger mom I used to let those things go and did whatever it took just to get by, day by day. But now as a middle aged woman I am more picky about the details. So indeed; why not add beauty here too. It makes taking my medicine an act of self care and it makes me mindful of my blessings as well. And I keep this one clean!
Do you become more sanctified by wearing holy socks? I went to Merriam Webster and alas found out that their definition was explained as "holey: holes in socks". Too bad I though we could advance in our spiritual state through keeping our socks on. Most definately one can by keeping one's underware on. Tee hee. Mom
