game changers

No matter how sick I feel,

washing my face

brushing my teeth

washing under my arms

(and putting on deodorant)

and washing between my toes

- weird, I realize.

These four things

are my game changers.

They make things feel just a tiny bit closer to normal,

make the pain diminish just a bit,

they change the shape of my day.

No matter how you feel,

keep your game changers in your hip pocket,

You might need them one day.
