Love Letter to My Heart

My heart beats for me–more than 36 million times a year!

February 14, 2011

Today I’m sending love to a very special Valentine—my heart…

Showing you some appreciation and gratitude is the least I can do, considering all you do for me.  I know I wouldn’t be much without you.  You are my center, my rhythm, my pulse of life…my very own genuine heartthrob!

Even though you have your moments of relaxation, I know you work tirelessly on my behalf, without a single day of rest.  Pumping almost 100,000 times a day just to make sure I’m nourished, cleansed, and protected.  Wow!  One hundred thousand times—that’s over 36 million contractions a year and hopefully over 3 billion in my lifetime!  Absolutely amazing!!!

It’s hard to believe you’re only slightly bigger than my fist, yet so powerful and efficient.  You are always flexible and accommodating, no matter how demanding I am.  You give unconditionally, carrying on effortlessly for me, whether I think about you or not.  And, you constantly reassure me with your beat.  You truly are the heart of my matter.

So, Happy Valentine’s Day to you, my Dear Heart.  I love you and promise to take care of you, so that we can live happily and healthfully ever after!
