Sneezing

So you're outside raking the leaves (like I'm heading out to do in a few minutes, at my wife's powerful suggestion : ) and there's going to be a lot of dust in the air. So what's likely to happen? I'm going to sneeze. Probably a couple of times.

Those into pills take a sneeze as a sign that they need to take something to suppress the sneeze. I go with another theory.

Sneezes are there for a reason. You've got something in your nose that should be there, and a sneeze is your body's way of getting rid of it. Pleasant? Not necessarily. But it's there for a good cause. Whenever possible, let the sneeze do its job. In other words, sneeze. Let it go. Don't try to hold it in (that's a miserable feeling anyway!) and don't take something to suppress the sneeze.

You're sneezing for a reason. (Hey, that almost rhymes!) Get rid of the reason, and the sneezing will go away by itself.
