I always think about how we can't
live without air . . . and then of
course, it occurs that we really can't
live without any of the elements!
Air truly moves, pun intended, and
I've always enjoyed a bit of a breeze,
even a little wind. And, just like any
thing else, great amounts of wind
kill, wreck, and maim.
There are many health benefits to
having fresh air about us. The docs
tell us that it improves blood pressure,
the digestive system, heart rate, lungs
and the immune system. That's all
well and good, but I'm not very
savvy about any of those.
On my end of the stick though, I've
been reading, as well as experiencing,
that fresh air gives you energy, makes
you feel happier and sharpens your
mind. And this is what the element
of air is all about for me.
Air is a gift that we have had nothing
to do with. But, we've all fallen into
the trap of not caring for it the way
we should. It's easy to blame the big
factories, the airplanes, trucks and
cars for the air pollution we have.
Still, are we careful about the kind
of car we buy, how we use them?
What about how we heat our homes?
I'll be the first to admit that I'm all
about the questions and don't hold
the answers. But, I do know that the
answers always involve each of us
doing our bit right where we are.
open the windows
so needing me some fresh air
love me that sweet scent
