Inspired by Charli Mill’s Carrot Ranch, #99WordStories
and her July 19, 2022, prompt:
In 99 words (no more, no less) write an iconic story from the thought, “Floating”
“It works. I proved it. I was much younger and seeing my doctor. While taking my blood pressure. His huge-breasted assistant embarrassed me by shoving my arm under hers – pressing me against her.”
“Hm, your BP’s high.”
Of course it is, I thought. “Having heard that this worked, I answered, “Give me a moment and let’s try again.” She smiled and studied her clipboard.
I closed my eyes, took three deep breaths and slowly released each while envisioning floating on thick air – completely at peace.”
“Ready?”
“I am.”
“Wow! Did you just nod off? Your BP is perfect now.”

Thanks Shari – it’s the closest I get to a zen experience – but hey – it worked and my doc was happy.

I’ve had to do this before to lower my BP in doctors office. I like your idea of floating peacefully! 💞

Not sure I recall, but in the real version of this for me, a very long time ago, it may have been the assistant who told me about doing this. Whatever I was anxious about at the time fell immediately to this trick.
Thanks for the visit Diana 😀
