February is Women's Heart Health month. Believe it or not, heart disease is the #1 cause of death for women. I started thinking about my heart, beating away each day, and how very important it is to keep it healthy. Exercise, eating right all contribute to keeping those hearts beating away, hopefully for a long long time. Yes, my heart, the heart that:
-jumps for joy when I am happy
-broke for the firse time in second grade when the boy I liked voted for someone else to be Maypole Queen
-ached and ached each time one of my kids left for college
-swells with pride at the accomplishments of my children
-smiles when my husband talks baby talk to our puppy
-beats out of my chest while I watch my boys play basketball
-almost burst with too much love as I laid eyes on each of my children at their birth
-cries for the misfortune of others and cruelty to animals
-pitter patters as I drop off to sleep
-worries about getting older
-yearns for my children
-is strong from exercise
-is huge with love for my family and friends
-beats and pumps all day, every day to keep me alive
