Beauty Has Its Price

The flowers are just gorgeous right now, and petals float on the breeze as birds call out to one another from tree tops, car roofs, and fences. It’s all so gorgeous…and somewhat uncomfortable.

I do not have allergies. I really don’t. For some reason, I wear that as a badge of honor, though it has nothing to do with intelligence or good health habits. My poor little sister got hit with all of them; I guess my parents saved them up for her. Yeah, so I don’t have allergies, but on my runs lately I have been finding my eyes stinging, my nose running, and my body feeling just plain old tired.

It’s all so pretty right now, but it comes at a price. And…am I a little allergic to pollen??
