Homemade Cough Remedy

Last week, the cold/virus I had
threw me for a loop.
Because I don't visit the doctor often,
and try to take care of my health myself, 
I rested as much as I could and basically let my duties fall by the wayside. 
That's not easy for me to do, but it is necessary.
When illness strikes, nothing helps like resting,
so I savor each day spent in quiet,
knowing that it will lead me to better days ahead.

Toward the end of the illness,

a cough started, which can disrupt rest and sleep,

so I decided to research homemade cough syrup.

There were quite a few to choose from.

The first one I tried contained cayenne, among other ingredients.

The pepper was supposed to help clear the sinuses.

It didn't really do much for me,

so I came up with one of my own.

Three simple ingredients that most folks have on hand

and just a few minutes to put it together,

helped me feel worlds better.
