Alarm ringing, hurried exits from the bed, rushed breakfasts, attending to the "wipe me mamma" calls of my older kid, picking up the crying baby, I just about made it to complete the "Bye darling" routine at the door.
Just as I get around to picking up the newspaper, the second round of the mad rush starts- phone ringing, baby crying, someone at the door, and before you know it, am off to drop my baby at the babysitter's, and at my workplace.
But a nagging thought keeps troubling me.....i definitely have forgotten something important.
I think back......
Did I lock the door? Check
Did I pack lunch for the kids? Check
Did I switch off the gas? Check.
And the list goes on........ but, no there it is... the nagging thought... something missing.
Return home, and the cycle continues - feeding, washing, ironing.....Phew!!! would have been easier if we were born as birds I suppose!!!........... and finally off to bed.....the nagging thought creeps up.....
And there I remember it... I take a deep breath!!!
There it was......that was what I was forgetting about since the day started.......to breathe!!
How many of us actually forget to take a deep breath once in a while?.....I wonder!!!
A busy time for us individuals.......but yes, we shouldn't forget to take a deep breath................after all, that is what "living" really is, isn't it?
