Wasn’t This Supposed To Be a Happy and Healthy New Year?
I know that it's pretty inevitable to catch something during the winter. We're cooped up in closed houses, sharing germs as we go about our lives and touch door handles, remote controls, etc.
It's also been a pretty social few weeks with holiday parties and lots of kissing and hand shaking. My friend boycotts all affectionate greetings during the winter. She makes it known that she doesn't want to catch or share any germs. But some of us are natural huggers and we instinctively say, "hi" to people by opening our arms. How do you manage at this time of year. If you're getting over an illness, do you let everyone know? How do you greet people without a handshake, kiss, or hug?
