The 8th Dwarf Snotty

Today's blessing may seem silly (& gross) and it may not seem like much of a blessing to you but I guarantee it is a blessing to me...and the man in front of me in church this morning. 

I actually am enjoying this packing and

purging thing but it's wreaking havoc on my allergies. My nose has been running like a faucet all day. I'm not sick, I'm allergic. So I'm putting the Kleenex box to work today. Since the invention of these little booger catchers they have been taken for granted. I mean, much better than a sleeve right?  And I'm not forgetting handkerchiefs that have been around forever either but it's 2014 and I'm not a dude so my blessing is tissues. 

First my nose is happier when wiped by something soft but they are disposable and therefore cleaner. They are also very handy in time of a mucous crisis.  This is the somewhat humorous part of this blessing story.  I was kneeling in church this morning and the older man in the pew in front of me wasn't fully kneeling and basically leaning forward in a sitting position. This put me very close to his back and I was somewhat hovering over him. Did I mention it was a special celebration in church this morning so there was incense too?  Well the faucet turned on, my head hanging dangerously close over this unsuspecting mans back. Luckily I was able to quickly grab my handy tissue and prevent a flood on his jacket but I couldn't help but think what would have happened if I didn't get that tissue in time!  It may seem silly but tissues are definetely a blessing!!
