Battle With Allergy Season

This week is allergy season and I've been facing a battle with an itchy throat, congestion, coughing and sneezing. This is one of my least favorite things about the arrival of spring. It's no fun to deal with allergies because they're a real pain in the neck.

I woke up Monday morning with an uneasy feeling about myself. My throat was a little sore and very itchy, and my body felt more tired. I knew that I was getting sick or going through allergy season. Could've been the same thing because I explained those symptoms above. Well... all it matters right now is that I get feeling better by staying inside the house; apparently I'm allergic to something outside and I'm 100% positive that it's tree pollen. Another symptom of my allergies is a frog in my throat. Yesterday, I went outside for a bit and when I got inside, I sounded not so normal. For now, I'm in the house.

Besides the allergy season that's been taking place, I'm excited for 
tomorrow! I get to come home to Mexico for a week and spend time with my parents and sisters. I'm excited to see the house I was brought to from the hospital, my beloved sharpeis, our dear housemaid who's been a second mother to us four girls, and feel the Mexican air I've been surrounded my whole life. Even though Mexico is a place where I was hurt and excluded by relatives who saw me as an outcast, I still have people who love me and treat me as an equal down there.

I still have this scar in my heart from the hurt I've been through, but I'm hanging in there. I always have this strong confirmation from the Spirit that everything will be okay whenever I pray for peace and love in my heart.
