Kussmaul's Respiration

A sprinter sprints.
A marathon runner runs.
A soldier fights.
A walker walks.
A cyclist cycles.
A swimmer swims.

And they breathe.

I need to remember to breathe.

I remember during KTJ swimming gala, i swam 25 m without breathing, only to be struggling like mad on the next 25 m. It's the first time i've made it that far without taking multiple breaths, and that mainly because i forgot to! The adrenaline got to me i guess. But i was so breathless after that it was scary, i felt like i won't make it. I felt like my heart would just stop beating in the middle of the pool.

Life is getting hectic here. There's always something to do, or something that needs to be done. Commitments to be fullfilled. Swimming from one commitment to another, one goal to another, sometimes i just forget to breathe. Breathe charis, breathe! Breaths of life, breathe...and live, live life alive. :)
