Breathing (Jan. 29)

It is a very unique feature of living things. They breath in a particular way suited to the habitat in which they live. Humans, for instance, living above the ground breath the air that surrounds this planet. Unless you work in the medical field, and specifically in respiratory services, you probably do not think about breathing all that much. It just kind of happens and the body naturally adjusts itself to the circumstances to get enough air so as to allow the body to function properly. Now you may notice when your breathing changes but do you really think about actually breathing? You can think about not breathing for a period of time before your body tells you hey stupid take a breath. It is honestly amazing that something that happens so frequently throughout the day is something that we literally do not have to think about. Surely we would miss noticing other things if we had to think about breathing but we should ask ourselves what we are missing because we are thinking about other things.
