Bank on it



I wanted to write this while it's still fresh on my mind. I went to the bank to change a $20 for $10 of quarters and change. I have gone to this particular bank and have done quite a few paper for quarter exchanges without going having to jump through any hoops unless of course I was making a withdrawal from my account then asking for a break down. I had the twenty bill in my hand and I was asked if I had an account, I was never asked that before, I then had to swipe my debit card well insert because it was chipped.  I inquired what would have happened if I didn't have an account, I was told that they couldn't help me out. They need to track money just incase the money exchange is fake. I had a twenty dollar bill, lol , seriously like they can't hold it to the light and do a quick check? I am not going name the bank but I was told that they don't want to lose any money; that made me laugh. This particular bank was one of the first to be bailed out during the big bail out. The  next time I need quarters I will go to my other bank. I just thought it was funny

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.

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...
