february 3

For our MOM: Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. See if you can feel your pulse - in your heart beat, in the movement of your blood through your hands resting on your knees...

JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "Heart Attack" by 이달의 소녀/츄 (LOONA/Chuu); "Heart Attack" by Demi Lovato]
Today's journal topic was inspired by one of the tunes, which was suggested by one of you... The title brought lots of ideas to mind. First, I had just learned of the death of scientist Andrew Brooks, who developed the saliva test for COVID-19. Dr. Brooks died of a heart attack and left behind a family, but what really got my attention was his age: 51. I turned 51 last week. That brought my attention right back to time and our recent conversations. As NFL Hall of Famer Walter Payton put it, after discovering he had a rare liver disease: "Remember, tomorrow is promised to no one." With all that in mind, and all that we've learned about time, describe one thing you will do today that you will be proud of forever. (You don't have to make a major contribution to medical science; some of the most important things we do are also the most personal.)  As an aside, I also find myself wondering why we use "heart attack" as a metaphor for non-medical feelings... thoughts?
