Am I 133 already?
I had a major birthday in September, but didn't think I was that old already. Let me back track a bit. I have always believed I am going to live to be 133. I don't remember how I came up with that number. Might have been a psychic I went to years ago, or maybe a doctor that had recommended surgery for a tumor. I shrug, because at this point it's not important.
This past Summer's fire season here in Montana was HELL! Serious Hell! Hell on my lungs! hell i tell ya! There were too many nights I was afraid to fall asleep, because I was "worried" I wouldn't wake up in the morning.
I am having that kind of day today. Although the level of smoke from fires has gone way down, you can't tell it by my breathing or should I say lack of breath. I hope just make it through the day. Is this where the saying "One Day At A Time" comes from?
The other morning I had the same kind of feeling. I woke up at about 3AM, breathing so-so, and trying not to panic. I did a breathing treatment. Coughed some gunk up out of my lungs and went back to sleep. When I woke up for the day it hit me how close to death we are. One breath away. One blink. One sigh. One gasp. One breath.
