Space Probing

Thinking outside the comfort zone of Earth's hemisphere many people including myself take for granted. We breathe because of oxygen, we are able to control our movements because of gravity, those two things alone make our existence . I saw the movie Gravity and it blew my mind and made me appreciate not only this planet but all the men and women who have dedicated their time and energy to go way beyond the perimeter of earth to broaden our horizons. With all the breath taking shots of Earth and space in this movie, the quiet eeriness , wow. I bet we all watch space exploration and think why so much money being dumped into what seems a useless project, I know I used to roll my eyes at every attempt to conquer the moon. I even shook my head when moving computers invaded Mars thinking why are we probing a planet us humans will never ever get to.
   It has always boggled my mind that there are 9 planets in our solar system(I still count Pluto) and out of the 9 we are the only planet exhibiting life? I guess that leaves room for debate on whether it's a grand design or accident because outside of Jupiter none of the other planets serve a purpose to us anyways so why are they there? Why are we trying to figure out Mars? If by chance we find a nearby planet with oxygen and water and gravity do we start setting up real estate and ruin that planet with taking and not giving back like we do here? Or, are we just curious and want to find out why the other planets exists.
  Anyways, because of the statil lights and space stations our field of communication has us connecting with people all over the globe through our computers and smart phones. We sugar as hell have come a long way. Who would have thought landing on the moon would have cut the ribbon and advanced us so far.
   I loved the movie Gravity. I made me appreciate having gravity and oxygen,lol

Swallowing an Elephant

You know that joke/riddle How do you eat an elephant? A-One bite at a time. For most that seems to be the most logical. The elephant is quite large and nobody can just pop one in their mouth but oddly enough there are people out there that want you to over tax your system trying to get one down in one bite. Apparently, there are some lucky individuals out there who can unhinge their jaw and eat an elephant in one or two tries so that sets the bar for everyone else. I am not so blessed to be able to unhinge my jaw and swallow large objects.    My capacity to learn and adapt to familiar things that need to be dusted off and new ways takes more than a day or two. I know the elephant swallowers are in high demand and get cut higher respect but I feel the nibblers are just as worthy. Patience is a skill that has been slacking both in the people who want to try to make a nibbler into a swallower and those who are observing and comparing; even the nibbler wanting to be perfect...

Breathing

When someone asks me how I am I usually respond with okay which means nothing bad or good is going on. When things aren’t so okay I reply with “I’m barely breathing” which means I’m highly stressed out over something. When I listen to meditation videos they always start out with deep breathing, at first, I thought it was kind of silly to concentrate so much on breathing. I also started to notice my breathing when I was stressed out or intensely involved in something. I have two destructive breathing patterns that take place, I either over breath or shallow breathe; sometimes I even subconsciously hold my breath. None of the three poor breathing methods make a happy functioning body. It’s funny to have to learn how to breath properly because it’s something we do automatically.    With some unknown allergies or on and off sinus issues I already face upper repertory struggles at times. When I over breath due to some hidden or not so hidden stress I notice changes in my bod...
