As we enjoy the colors of spring (despite the wild temperature swings), a friend was lamenting the return of a persistent cold that she thought she had beat.
Her throat was scratchy, her nose dripped and she maintained a dull ached above her eyes. All of her favor cold remedies were failing her.
I sympathized with her discomfort, since I was suffering with my reaction to the record levels of pollen floating through the air. I have had spring time allergies all of my life, and living in the Washington area only has made them worse.
"My eye are so irritated," I told her, "that I wish I could take them out of my head and rinse them off."
"Really?" she said. "That's exactly how my eyes feel! I never even considered allergies!"
Long story short -- my friend went over the her pharmacy, loaded up on antihistamines and eye drops, and found relief.
Sometimes it's just a word, a quick view from another perspective, that offers a solution.
Enjoy the spring, and don't be allergic to change.
