Mr. Wonderful has asthma. This time of year breathing isn’t one of those things we take for granted.
We have inhalers stashed everywhere. We have a plan when the inhalers don’t work. We have lived with the not-breathing thing for awhile and have made modifications to our world.
Because breathing is just something most of us take for granted.
We breathe in and out, go about our daily lives. Live as if we have all the time in the world. And then something happens that knocks the wind out of us and we can’t seem to catch our breath.
That’s when out breathing becomes labored. When we have to fight just to remember to breathe in.
If you brought some junk with you from last year–hurt, anger, bitterness, sadness, defeat, despair–maybe take a moment today to just breathe.
Remind yourself to breathe in, then breathe out. Give yourself a moment to catch your breath. And then begin to let go of those things that are already weighing you down this year.
It won’t happen overnight, so be sure to give yourself a break. It will happen one breath at a time.
