Hearts

This is what's on my mind tonight.  Hearts and how the varried aspects of what's in our heart affects us.  Though Valentine's Day is just past, with a little effort, we can keep the beating of our heart going strong.  Hearts have the capability to keep on giving and it's up to us to listen to our heart, follow our heart, act on what's in our heart, share what's on our heart, and have heart.  But, what kind of beat drives us?  This afternoon, I was laying on a hard medical table for an echocardiogram. An echo, as typiclly called in the heart field, is where the technician has you lie on your side and slides a probe across your chest to view your heart on a screen.  I had to lie still for 30-45 min., which totally goes against my nature.  About all availabe was daydreaming.  It was then my lips slowly broke into a soft smile as I recalled the plight of the original owner of a card meant for me on Valentine's Day.  You see, that morning, Bob, had tucked the card safely inside his shirt to give to me later that afternoon.  But, he then got caught in a rain storm which caused the crisp white envelope to wilt. So, what does a caring and sensitive American male do to remedy a damp situation...place it the microwave!  Once zapped it became wrinkle free.  What a thoughtful gesture!  Some men wouldn't have even noticed let alone bother with.  By the time it landed in my hands it was near perfect and came with added warmth.  So, what does a microwave have to do with hearts?  This is the way I see it.  Every day we make decisions from the tone and texture of our heart.  Are we going to be kind?  Are we going to forgive?  Are we going to go the extra mile to make someone else happy?  For Top Blond, it's the little things that mean a lot.  It's the song of our heart that gets played out every day that makes us dynamic or dormant.  See you next time...Top Blond taking the day!
