A Conversation with My Heart

by Bob Burdt

 

I think about you a lot and want to “thank you” for keeping my body vibrant. As I have grown in life, I have been blessed with the warmth of special friends, the excitement of holding a new baby, the tenderness of hugs, kisses, and the gift of love. If it weren’t for you, I would have never experienced the love and kindness that comes with maturity. How can I continue to grow, learn, and enjoy this wonderful life? Here are my questions.

Bob: Keep eating health foods?

Heart: That helps but there is more!

 

Bob: Lots of veggies, fruit and wine?

Heart: Those are great but, go easy on the wine. There’s more!

 

Bob: What about exercising, running, walking, lifting weights, and meditation?

Heart: All those are great and I feel good when you do them. But, there’s more!

 

Bob: More? What is it?

Heart: Have kind words to say to those you know and love, and to strangers you meet. Keep warm thoughts for them always. Take that extra step to assist those in need and remember to smile. Bob, those thoughts, words, and kind acts come from me, and when you express them, “It makes me the happiest that I can beat for others”
