Blessed are…

Blessed are the stretch waist bands,

Blessed are the forgiving fabrics,

Blessed are comfortable and cute shoes,

Blessed are the estrogen patches,

Blessed are the full coverage foundations,

Blessed are the neck fans,

Blessed are creatine and protein powders,

Blessed are sunscreen, vitamin C, retinol, a cream for every season, and a cream whose purpose remains a mystery.  

We bless the hands who made all these things,

For we declare it is good.

Very good.

Blessed are those in the Pause

for we shall get reprieve from our period.

One day.

And then forevermore.
