One thing I have learned about having a chronic illness is to expect the unexpected. I mean, I never really DO expect it, but wouldn’t it be fantastic if I did?!?

This week the small and mighty superhero who lives inside me (it’s my pacemaker / ICD) did a fantastic job of keeping me alive. I love that!

On Wednesday, I had an episode of V-tach (heart rate spike) and after I passed out, my darling device zapped my heart and said, “Tut, tut. None of that now. Settle down.” And then my heart said, “Oh, okay.” and did. Settle down, that is.

I’m home from the hospital. I’m fine. You can read more on Caring Bridge here.

In addition to not driving for 3 months, I will be leaning into asking for help, feeling the love and support around me, and appreciating what I have. And refreshing my Art of Appreciation class coming up on April 12th. I’ll have some fresh new examples of how it can work! 😆

Today I appreciate the darling people in my life who bring me flowers, offers me rides, give me space to rant and rave and cry, and who make teeny tiny cards for me. You make my life feel magical and so full of love.
