The magical chicken soup

Oma's 63 years old, and I noticed that her health had vastly improved since I last saw her.  She's like an engine that never stops during the day: from the moment she wakes at 7am to exercise in the backyard, till 11pm after she has finished ironed all our clothes.  Rest? Nah, she didn't need any of that.  I've never seen her sit down for a tea break, nor take afternoon naps.

I asked her for her secret. She said I do not have enough "Qi" and need to drink more of her medicinal chicken soup.  (Once, a nurse in the maternity ward examined at my pot of soup curiously and compared the contents to "the stuff coming from an aquarium fish tank".) 

I had been perpetually tired since 3 years ago.  Coming home from each brief shopping trip, I need to sit down and take a tea break.  Every afternoon, I need to take a nap.  In the children's playground, I'm hopelessly tired.  Where there is a bench in sight, I'd just dump my bags and sink into the seat eagerly.

After 4 weeks of drinking Oma's magical chicken soup, an amazing thing happened.  Today I was at a shopping center playground with EggEgg, and without my realising it, I was chasing him around (while carrying a backpack!) and actually having immense fun for half an hour!  I didn't even give the bench a second look.  

Is this Qi?  In the words of He-Man, I proclaim, "By the power of Chicken Soup...I have the power!"
