Romancing myself

Did you know cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States; one in every three deaths is from heart disease and stroke, equal to 2,200 deaths per day. This information comes from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 

Well, that's certainly not romantic! What is romantic, however, is being in good health so I can feel my best and have fun with my honey. This Valentine's Day, I'm giving myself a gift. I got up a little earlier than usual and took a walk. I plan to do this every day. This might not sound like a big deal, but I love to sleep in, and talking myself into getting up to walk is not easy. But I'm going to do it! I want to keep my ticker ticking for a long time, so I can enjoy life, love, and the pursuit of...whatever strikes my fancy.
