SincereLee, Tierra.

It's hella early right now, but I went to bed at about 7pm so I am of course, well rested!

I was just laying in my bed thinking about life. Today, while on the train, I played Brick Breaker on my Berry and at one point I had a good 5 lives (you start off with 3) and I realized the difference in how I cared for my lives when I had 5 and when I was left with 1. Of course, whenever you're down to your last life you play with such caution, you're more focused than ever and can probably make it to three more levels w that one life, yet you can lose 3 with no problem on one level alone when you have 5.

When you think about that there's nothing too deep about it until you apply it to life in the real world.

We are not given 5.3 or even 2 lives but instead 1 great one! Many of us are lucky enough to start off healthy and because we have no worries, we abuse our life, we take it for granted.

I do not smoke, I barely drink yet I have not been getting a good night's sleep during the days of last week. My appetite was poor and Because of this and I think stressing over my body's change, I had to go to the hospital for heart palpitations and breathlessness.

After meeting with the doctor, I found out that my potassium was low as well as my white blood cells but not drastically. Now, that's fixed, yet something else (body wise) seems to be aggrivating me (that'll keep to myself).

My point is, I've never paid attn to how I slept or what I ate, I just ate! Now, I want to eat healthier, sleep more. I heard exercising fights off infections and can produce white blood cells, I want to exercise more. Although its good to want to do great things for your body, its horrible that something bad has to happen before we do so. It's not the case for all but it is the case for many.

I was scared out of mind, about possibly losing my life. I did not know what was going on but I have faith, I'm mobile, I'm breathing well and I'm treating myself better.

You do the same!
