breathe in, breathe out

Life is busy. There seems to always be something demanding your time. Between family, work, school, running a home, sports, holidays, exercising, and everything else that we can fill our time with, we need to remember one thing.
BREATHE.
Breathe for yourself, be grateful that you're alive, that you can see and feel and hear and run and jump. Breathe for those around you, pray for understanding and patience, sympathy and knowledge, but most of all, pray to love them. Breathe for your family, to love them the way they need to be loved, and not the way you think it should be.
Once you've breathed in the good, breathe out the bad. The leftovers. The waste.
Breathe out the frustration; with yourself, your kids, your job, your boss, the government. Breathe it all out. Let it be. Allow it to be okay, and remember that there is usually something you don't understand. Breathe out the anger, do not let it control you. Be the master of your mind and your body. Breathe out your weakness, you're stronger than you think you are.
When that is all done, start over. Surround yourself with good. Just don't forget to breathe.
