take a deep breath

Yesterday we had some friends over for dinner. One of the little girls got hurt. As she was wailing her mom said to her "take a deep breath". As she took in the air and blew out, she stopped crying and calmed. I feel as though I have been crying a lot in life, and it is now time to take a deep breath. I'm moving forward and promising myself to go slower, soak in the moments of every day life, and count my blessings each night as I fall asleep.

I hope to reflect this newness in my life and attitude and writing.
