My heart will endure forever

As many people hate Daylight Savings, and especially Spring forward since we all lose an hour, I love it! I enjoy the lighter evenings and more consistent warmer weather. I feel more uplifted in mood and mentally refreshed. I also don’t sleep great anyway so losing an hour has little effect on me.

I took a 3 mile walk today. The weather was finally decent enough to be outside for more than 20 minutes, albeit windy, but there are VERY few days where there is no wind, yet we will still complain about it.

I reached over 14,000 steps today from my usual 10,000. It’s been a minute since I’ve walked that many steps.

A well known woman in the community passed away from a heart attack earlier last week. When I hear of anyone dying from heart attacks or heart complications, it causes a bit of anxiety in me. I’ve had family members die from heart conditions, and my dad’s heart was weak which ultimately led to his passing because his body wasn’t strong enough to fight…

6 years before his passing, he had to get a quadruple bypass or he would have died at any moment.

Before medication, I had this paralyzing fear that my heart would stop at any moment. I was afraid to fall asleep because I may not wake up. I then started getting panic attacks which did not help my fear of my heart stopping. Every time I had one, I was sure I was dying. I do not miss those days.

Even though the medication has helped me tremendously, my stomach still flips slightly when I hear of someone dying of heart complications.

I was so afraid of dying. Now, it’s not so much that I look forward to dying, but I look forward to my body’s death and my soul rising.

Ezekiel 36:26

“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.”
