BREATHE

This post was written for Five Minute Friday.
Word prompt--BREATHE
Five minutes to free write about it.

Without breath we cannot live, and yet for most of my life, being able to breathe was a blessing I took for granted. It took a very scary episode almost three years ago to make me realize how fortunate I was to never have had to struggle for my next breath.

Now I have become so aware of it, that the first thing I do every morning is thank God for the gift of a new day, and that I can see, hear, walk, talk, and BREATHE.

  1. It is so easy to take breathing for granted until it becomes difficult. I need to be more thankful for this. Love your photo Loretta fmf #4 x

  2. Visiting as your great-grampy FMF neighbor. Good, solid advice ... as usual. Have a blessed week and more breaths to come.

  3. I'm really kinda glad that I
    can breathe (well, more or less),
    'cause if I don't I'll surely die,
    and that would make a mess
    of all the plans that I still have,
    of all I could be giving
    in words of verse that are a salve
    to folks that now are living
    through a hell that came to call,
    this annus most horrbilis;
    so I've set to do my all
    in remindering that we bless
    this world, however it is flawed
    when we turn our hearts to God.

  8. I agree with you! We really often don't appreciate what we have till it's gone. I'm sure all of us can write a long list of those things we are missing now! Thanks for visiting my blog. Visiting you from #22
