Thanks a lot billd, I like what you said, it applies to me too. And I took a good deep breath right after you said remember to breath, in high school my best friend used to always say “don’t forget to breath” you see we smoked a heck of a lot of pot. (early 80’s) In hindsight I’ll bet some days I got so high I would sit there like a stone, (that’s why they call it “stoned” cuz folks like me become as useful and motionless as a stone…) So maybe he noticed me sitting there um… stoned, so stoned I may have been forgetting to breath, and he would forget to remind me until later when I took off. That’s when he’d always say, “later dude, don’t forget to breath”
Breath in breath out, heck man that’s a new mantra I can use when I need ta mellow out or try to remember something. Has anyone else noticed that they sometimes tend to hold their breath when trying to remember something? I noticed that about me years ago, so when I’m stumped about the name of that red stuff I like to put on my fries.. ummm oh yeah ketchup! I just take a deep breath and then walah! I remember the simple common everyday word that just seems to have dissapeared (dang, I destroyed that word with my spelling so bad, spell check couldn’t figure out what I was trying to spell! that’s funny) from my vocabulary when I’m on the spot ,or worse, at a doctors appointment trying to get 25 minutes of health care squeezed into about 10… grrrr.
whoops, short post made long again. sorry gang.
