Well...

Did you know that I've had five draft posts since I last blogged? Five! That's five posts that I've started and not finished. And this one won't be different because I'm tired and have a lot on my mind and soon I'll start rambling and then it'll go on and on and on and on and then I'll get sick of it because it'll just sound extremely ridiculous and...
See?
But actually, there is something real quick I wanted to post. I was reading another blog online, of a band that I found on Youtube and then I actually found out they were Christians...which, by the way, I love when that happens.
So anywho, the pianist posted something,

"we are gaining ground as we get older. each day is a new breath.

think about it … breathing … hold one in, and let it go.

that was given to you...

there is a song in my ears and a joy in my heart.

not because of anything i have just received.

but simply because i know that i am being held up.

i am breathing.

you are breathing.

get going."

It's so simple. Just taking in a breath, holding it, and letting it go. But over the last few weeks since I read that, I've found myself doing it several times. When I'm stressed, sad, or angry. Just taking in a breath, holding it, and letting it go. Remembering that it's a gift. That this life is a gift that I honestly don't deserve. And realizing that through all the stress, sadness, and anger, I have a purpose to live out, and that all the little things, like a B on a test that I wanted an A on isn't always the most pressing issue.

But gaining ground, taking a new breath, that's important.
