It's as if you're in my head, but thankfully the words you write express the thoughts so clearly.<br /><br />I don't think about breaths. I think about living - loving, cooking, cleaning, gardening, writing, playing the piano,and most of all gratitude for this wonderful life I stumbled upon.<br /><br />This morning I attended a FB live funeral for someone I didn't know - a friend of a friend; but if a friend grieves, then I grieve too, especially in these times. <br />As I listened to others reflections of the deceased, I learned she made an impact on many and overall she lived a good life.<br /><br />Stay well, amigo.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07400604397615242974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037880479077170696.post-38189512583062994002020-05-06T02:13:38.920-05:002020-05-06T02:13:38.920-05:00An interesting start to the article, because if we...An interesting start to the article, because if we are fit and fine it seems we really don't think of our age. In fact we probably feel younger than our chronological age until something jolts us back to reality and reminds us of our mortality. Last week I lost a friend to the Corona Virus and it got me thinking about my final hours on this earth. None of us is immune to this dreaded disease. We just try our best to exercise due care and pray for our Lord's protection. Excellent article.Margaretnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037880479077170696.post-34694802473282872102020-05-03T10:32:22.237-05:002020-05-03T10:32:22.237-05:00Many thanks for your comment, Charlie.

When I meditate with my breath time stands still and an hour seems like a few minutes. <br /><br />When I take a breath everything slows down so I can be more mindful. When I go out in my driveway to breathe in the cold air and look at the stars and I spotted Venus for the first timeI almost lost my breath. <br /><br />I am waiting for the stop light to turn I am conscious of my breath and it makes me calm. When i go to sleep at night i use a sleep ap machine which lulls me to sleep. When i hold my Chihuahua in my lap i am conscious of her breathing. <br /><br />When people i love have died and took their last breath I always thought it would be a quick inhalation but it is the letting go of the breath which takes a long time because we have so much air in our bodies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
