...breathing...

Ever felt like there was too much to move?

too much to breathe?

ever wake up and realize, "I'm alive."

look at the birds and really appreciate that there are little hearts beating inside of those soft little chests. little lungs breathing.

i think that life is underrated. we forget to breathe. we spend so much time focusing on what's due next Wednesday, and how many sources we need for our research papers. we forget how much we're loved, how much we love, how the water feels, how the ocean tastes, how it smells. so often we're too busy tuning everything out with our ipods; we create a cacophonous chatter as we walk and talk and pop our gum. we forget to see what's around us. we become so busy with little kids and soccer and day care and the latest on Britney Spears that we forget to breathe.


Let's all take a breath.
