Since I awoke this morning I have been unable to contain the rapid rush of air and fluid from my nostrils... The dreaded "sneeze" has haunted me for at least 4 hours now.
At first I was upset, then frustrated but now I've accepted and come to relish the anticipation of the sneeze. This swell of high pressure before the hurricane of histamine is becoming akin to the last mile of a marathon; the most pain one can endure before a release. The sneeze helps me to feel alive. Every expulsion of air at high speed brings me closer to realization that any one single breathe could be my "mucusy" last.
Take a deep breath with me and stare at a bright light in the hopes that you may get to experience the amazing joy of a sneeze that may in fact bring you closer to god, and leave a wet mark on your elbow.

Get used to it
Have you ever been forced to make some sort of life change that you thought would be impossible? Forced to work with someone you don't like? Take a pill every day? Get a smaller car? Live without a pet or loved one? It seems so impossible at first but we as humans are surprisingly resilient to major change... Like the ice age, or the dark ages... Or president Bush (pick one).
If you find my title for this post insensitive I apologize as I only mean to propose that given a little time we can get used to anything.
I remember
Thinking I would never be able to eat 6-10 servings of fruits and vegetables a day, after a few weeks i would start to feel weird not having that much produce. I never thought I could live without my dog buster. He was amazing and loving and irreplaceable to this day. As the days wore on I felt that I could tap into the memories I had of buster and hose would start to fill that void left by his passing.
I have since established that life WILL go on with or without me, and as long as I keep on going with it I can get through anything and life itself will get easier by perception because we've gotten USED to living.
So you thunk your life is tough? Just get used to it.
