just breathe

Current status: I'm on the road to recovery.
Tuesday night I had an awful scare. My lungs swell up, and I was having bronchial spasms, which lead to an anxiety attack.. put simply. It was not fun, pretty scary actually ! However, It completely made me realize how often we take the simplest things (like breathing) for granted. There are so many small wonders in this world that are just beautiful, and so often over looked. Take time once in a while to look around and just appreciate whats given to you. Because it can always be worse.

There are so many major changes taking place right now in my life. It almost feels as if I tripped and fell, while carrying a puzzle. And I am sitting here, in awe, just watching all the pieces fall perfectly into place. I am so happy with how things are working out. Its so nice when you let go, and allow things to just happen.
I don't have much to really say at the moment, I have been pretty under the weather, and I am super anxious to get through the next 4 weeks so I can get my wheels back in motion.

BUT .. I would like to mention my family and friends . I am blessed with some pretty amazing people in my life. My family is so loving and supportive, Intermediate and extended. My friends are by far the best I could ask for. The relationships I have formed with people, new and old, are what keep me going. You guys are my support, my influence, my smile, and sometimes my tears. I don't need to mention names.. you know who you are. I love you all and thank you !!

The video I will leave you with is from 3 years ago.. Its me, dressed in a fat suite, choking. My friends think I am dancing. I don't know, It just seemed appropriate :) .

  2. its so easy to take things for granted, especially growing up in such a materialistic day in age. i agree that we should always try and remember that it could be a lot worse and it really is in a lot of places around the world. we are very lucky! i'm glad to hear you're doing better Christine!
