Valentines Day off the block

I was going to write out my valentine experience that took place last Friday. It was not the run of the mill Valentines Day by any means. I received no cards, no flowers no candy or wrapped up sore bought gifts. There was no home cooked or romantic dinner for two at some trendy bistro. The day didn't start or end with a wild sex orgy for two. I know what you're thinking, that my Valentines Day wasn't anything to write about anyways. That is where you're wrong. It was very worthy to post on Face book or to whip up a blog about although I feel that not many would fully understand since everyone I know is involved in the textbook normal relationships. Now I've got your curiosity...lol
    I chose not to write about it not so much because I felt I would have to back track and explain to people or worse that nobody would read what I wrote or not give a shit. I chose not exploit my experience because the person who it involved means a great deal to me and I want to preserve the integrity of the time spent with him. The very fact that I got to spend time with him at all was my wrapped up piece of jewelry and the laughter we shared was better than any high priced dinner at a trendy Bistro.

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.

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...
