Take a Deep Breath... and be grateful

Have you noticed? Its the simple things in life....that make life possible? ... for instance, the simple ability to breath in, breath out. To take a breath without effort, without thought is something most of us do continually. YET,

there could be a time it isn't so simple. When our lungs fill up, when our bronchial tubes close up, when... breathing is not simple. Breathing is a tremendous effort and suddenly becomes a panic filled exercise in trying to live.

And I am grateful tonight that despite my tired aching body I have been able to breath in and out all day without any thought of concern. This day, I am blessed to be able to live and breath.
