cough drops.
what a saving grace.
in those moments of panic when your throat won't cooperate with your mind.
or when your throat doesn't seem to note the social ques of a quiet meeting or an important phone call.
and while they aren't normally the tastiest treat you find in a candy dish, they take on a whole new quality when tears are coming to your eyes because of an itch that seems to be dancing around in your upper respiratory system.
funny how a little hard candy full of menthol can bring such immediate relief, yet once dissolved, all hell breaks loose once again.
because while cough drops will save you from the desperate heat of needing to cough in the middle of a dramatic performance of the christmas story, they won't bring any long-term solution.
that seems to be the case for a lot of things in life.
but as we search for the antibiotics and long-term healers of the world, let's not throw the cough drops out the window.
