Surgeries are scary. And taking pills can be just as intimidating. Sure, you might start with one, but before you know it you’ll need a backhoe to lift your daily pills into your mouth. You can wait in a doctor’s office for up to an hour to hear his five-minute opinion. Moreover, all these paths to better health can be expensive, And do health-care avenues ever make you happy?
No.
But what makes us feel better? And is inexpensive?
Cookies.
Cookies make you feel better. We love people who give us gifts. When have we even felt love when wheeled into the surgery room? When given pills?
Never.
But cookies make us feel better. Cookies let us know people care about how we feel. Cookies improve our outlook and so, our mental health.
If only there were a phrase to describe this great cure. And now there is:
TODAY’S AWESOME PHRASE
Cookie Health Care
