Flushing

I sometimes wish I had picked a more delicate subject to blog about – arranging flowers, or folding napkins or decorating cupcakes. While these are all worthwhile pursuits, I know absolutely nothing about any of them so I plan to stick with “mindful breathing” even when that means dealing with a relatively gross subject like toilet flushing.

If we could make each cold and virus bug visible to the human eye, you would faint the next time you walked into your john.

1. At least once a week, make a quick swipe of all knobs and handles with a disinfectant wipe.
2. We’ve already brought the subject of hand washing to a high art.
3. Know that when you flush the toilet you set loose a momentary mist that you want no part of. See? Aren’t you already longing for a napkin to fold? Just don’t lean directly over the toilet bowl when you flush! Turn your face away and stretch out your arm as long as possible.

Gentlemen, you move the seat up and down more than we do so please take extra care with the hand washing. I’m going away now to decorate a cupcake (after washing my hands).

Be well. Breathe beautifully.
