This morning at Karate class, one of the nice young men took a turn for the worse and headed for the sidelines where he sat with his head between his knees. Our instructor commented that he looked as white as his Gi (uniform). I like to take breaks myself, since I’m just a beginner and one of the older class members :-) so I sat on the bench next to him. He didn’t seem to be getting any better and I asked if he felt sick to his stomach. He said he did. Naturally, I had some peppermintĀ  in my purse, and also Inside Out, so I told him I had something that might help. I figured peppermint might be familiar to him so I took the top off the bottle and told him he could just inhale it. He politely declined the offer … but after a few minutes he asked if he could try the peppermint. He seemed to like it so I took out the Inside Out and let him take a few whiffs of that, too. In no time at all he said he wanted to try getting back to Karate business and I told him he looked a lot perkier. Pretty soon he got right up and joined the others. After class he thanked me very kindly.
