23,040 times a day

As I grow older I seem to ask this with more regularity; it may be time to actually start buying lottery tickets: What are the chances???
Last night I awoke in the middle of the night and picked up a great read, Anam Cara, which I received years ago as a gift from a dear friend who's moved away to Las Vegas and who I miss a lot, Pilar Malo de Wellbaum. In the book I learned that we inhale and exhale 23,040 times a day. I have become interested in breathing as a technique to calm and comfort myself when I get a little anxious or overly tired.

I got to my desk at Northwest Vista College and opened my email. One of the first emails I opened was from Delancey Place, a great source for interesting books.

Delancey Place includes brief excerpts, and though I have never purchased a book yet due to the site, I rarely miss the opportunity to read it. Today the first thing I read about was how we breathe 23,040 times every day. OK, if not the lottery, at least I'm ready for the TV Quiz shows tonight.
