A Breath of Fresh Air


I had one of those moments when something very basic becomes clear. My family and I spent the weekend in the pool at our local leisure centre. Randy and I along with our six year old daughter were taking a class in an intro to snorkeling. The older kids were doing an intro to scuba at the same time. Anyway the kids all took to it right away, me I really had to concentrate on breathing through my mouth . By the end of the day I had drank a lot of the pool and had sucked in a lot of extra air. But I felt great. I realized on refection I was not really sucking extra air but probably more than I usually do. I think that I breath too shallow most of the time. Now I was high on life after such a great day, but I also felt invigorated. I was thinking clear and had more energy than anyone else in my family after a day of exercise Defiantly something worthy of noting. Breath in, Breath out and stay in the moment. Where have I heard that before?
