National Inhale and Exhale Day

No Doctor Needed


Breathe in. Breathe out. There...you've celebrated National Inhale and Exhale Day.

Congratulations.

That's all there's to it. No, really.

You can get on with your life now, assuming you have one. If not, get one.

"Get a life." You hear that fairly often on TV. Maybe you hear it in real life too.

I'm pretty sure you could say that, with the meaning intended, to just about everyone on the planet.

Think about what it means. It means I see you doing something that is so stupid or silly or meaningless that it prompts me to say, "Get a life."

Isn't there something in your life that would make me say that about you? Assuming you're an average Joe, that means that it's very, very likely all the other average Joes are in the same boat. And pretty much everyone is an average Joe.

So maybe needing a life isn't all that unusual or terrible after all.

Although there are times when having just one more life would have won the game for me.
