Ended up not doing a whole lot yesterday. I mean didn't do a lot of extracurricular stuff. If you think about it just by being alive there are trillions of important unnoticed happenings. With more than 100 billion neuron nerve cells working for you things are really going on. With all the Chemoreceptors, Mechanoreceptors, Photoreceptors, Thermoreceptors, Nociceptors and Auditory receptors still working even when you sit, things are working. With about 60,000 miles of blood vessels that the heart pumps about 2,000 gallons of blood through everyday, things are working.
A few more unnoticed happenings are the 600,000 skin particles being shed every hour that must be replaced. A new stomach lining that is being replaced every three or four days. The making of saliva which must be quite a daily chore because I've read where in a lifetime a person produces enough to fill two swimming pools. From only the 500,000 sweat glands of your feet producing more than a pint of sweat every day..........Brother a heck of a lot of things are getting done everyday whether we sit or work.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin alive, stayin alive. Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin alive.
Pumpin blood and all that other goo.
Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do.

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainty that just to be alive is a grand thing.-Agatha Christie
