I woke up with a cold—did I have to let it run its course?

Originally appeared on spirituality.com.

It was a great opportunity. A friend had flown up to Boston on his private plane, and offered me a seat for his return to Florida. I had wanted to see my sister and brother-in-law in their new home, and this would give me a chance to spend time on the beach with them and their new puppy. And I had a way to get back home, as my brother-in-law offered me the use of his motorcycle for my return trip.

Because it was a small plane and weight was an issue, I had to pack light. I took almost no clothes, and concentrated on the camping and riding gear I'd need for the ride home.

The flight was great and I enjoyed some warm Florida days before I mounted the motorcycle and began the return trip north.
