Allergies and Colds

It's that time of year when everything starts to bloom and breathing fresh air takes on a whole new meaning.  It's pollen season, but with the boomerang temperatures, it's also cold season - at least for me.  I finally accepted the fact that I had a cold and I was not happy.  Rest and fluids were the prescription for the weekend.

I did do the laundry, but otherwise I camped out in my recliner.  I tried to catch up on some reading but couldn't concentrate for long periods of time because the sneezing kept interrupting me.  Even now as I'm writing this blog, I find myself covered in a blanket and surrounded by tissues, even though it's a sunny 60 degrees outside.

I Thessalonians 5:16-18  Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

I could sit here and feel sorry for myself, but I'm not going to do that.  God has blessed me with very good health this year.  I'm thankful that I had no plans this weekend, that I could take the time to rest and that I have medicine to help alleviate the symptoms.  I'm thankful that my church does a live stream so I could watch my pastor's sermon this morning.  I'm thankful that my family checks on the progress of my recovery.  I'm thankful that I had defrosted a turkey to cook this weekend, because that meant I had really good food to help restore my strength.  And I'm thankful that I will begin a very busy week with plenty of rest and a body that's on the mend.
