Littlesteps2greatworks: oh I can breathe!

oh I can breathe!
It’s not as flimsy as I thought it was. How can I not be able to breathe? There must be something wrong somewhere. Immediately my mind started to search my memory bank… my lungs! Isn’t that the respiratory organ? Am sure that’s where the problem lies: this one thought pulled the trigger. My heart started beating hard against my rib cage; the race of fear had just begun! Troops of distorted thoughts were set for the carnival, panic griped my entire being. This went on for a while until the mildest of the thoughts fluttered past; at least you are still BREATHING. ‘Least ‘, I said, but of course that’s the most!
This one thought disbanded the multitude of confusing ones that were formally in charge. For the first time in my whole life I was fully conscious of the act of breathing (Don’t get me wrong, it doesn’t mean that I never gasped for breathe under the water while learning how to swim, or used a nose mask while doing some dusty chores).An act that’s the main fuel to the human body, yet less considered by so many.
Yes. I am still breathing that’s all that matters, though I had to go see the doctor, he explained that my nasal passage was partially blocked, because I was exposed to the cold. This whole experience might sound flimsy or trivia compared to what most people consider as important; like, making enough money to meet basic needs and wants. Might sound crazy, but this is a world where more is seen as less and less is seen as more.
When next you are about to growl or kick over life’s issues, stop for a while and be thankful to your creator for being able to breath, and I am so certain that life itself will push in that gentle thought that will make that minute count.
NEVER SAY LIFE ISNT FAIR! Not when you can still breathe.

U call this too, a Gift?
We worry about life so much so that we fail to see and partake in its privileges.
How then should we say, we live, when we are blind to the platform in which it presents itself?
It's just like, giving all admiration to the content in a box wrapped as a gift and non to the paper box and beautifully designed wrap and the ribbons. I am sure most people hardly remember colors of ribbons that mildly hold the pack of gifts they had received. Not even the one loosed three hours ago!
Who cares? U may say it's not worth much compared to the gift itself.
Is it?
Did I hear you correctly? Oh, I am sure I did. You said NO!
But well, I disagree. Yeah, you heard me! I totally disagree. Although, of a lesser worth (monetarily). They are as important as the item wrapped. They are what make it special. That beautiful wrist watch u bought last month isn't a gift. Even if your friend gave u some money and said "buy yourself a beautiful wristwatch as a gift", it still isn't a gift!
Whatever it is, be it expensive, it will never give u the thrill you got while opening the box that contained an inexpensive hair pin your little niece saved up to buy for you. Why? You might want to ask the ribbons or the paper wrap, or the love with which it was carefully picked.
What I am trying to convey is this: take time to appreciate what makes a gift, A GIFT.
We most times say: Life is a gift, yet we treat it like an item we bought for ourselves on someone's behalf and the funniest part is that that someone often turns out anonymous.
If you ever find yourself worrying about life as we often do as humans, pause for a while and remind yourself the first fact about life (you need to know what you worry for),
LIFE IS A GIFT! With this few words I welcome you to LITTLE STEPS 2 GREAT WORKS as we stop to appreciate the trivia that sums up to make each day's picture a complete piece.
