Bricks of Life

Have you ever had those moments where you wondered if your breath was not enough to sustain your life?  You are so overwhelmed that every breath seems to chip away at what fragile physical body you have left?  I have felt many times like the next breath is going to be the one.......the one too many.  Like removing bricks from a house, eventually there is one that when you pull it out, the house will crumble.  That brick is the brick of life.  But guess what?  That brick is not holding the house anymore than I am holding your attention. Because it is a choice.  You have the choice to read this, read the newspaper, or stare silently at the wall.  Life is about choices and how we decide to use our time.  So don't waste your time pulling bricks out of your house.
