The Lord has commanded you to take good care of your body. To do this, observe the Word of Wisdom, found in Doctrine and Covenants 89. Eat nutritious food, exercise regularly, and get enough sleep. When you do all these things, you... gain the blessings of a healthy body, an alert mind, and the guidance of the Holy Ghost...- L. Tom Perry
*I've had a few dreams that have rattled me lately. My biggest fear is for my heart to give out and I leave my family before I'm ready, not that I'll ever be ready. I've felt a desperate need to get healthy and in shape. I'm pushing myself to be healthy. I need to be here for a long time. I need to see my boys grow up. My heart transplant is coming, I just want to put it off for as long as I'm physically able to. ❤💓💝💗

Doc & Cov 93:24 And truth is knowledge of things as they are, and as they were, and as they are to come;
*Joseph Smith said, "Knowledge does away with darkness, suspense and doubt; for these cannot exist where knowledge is."
**I love that. For a while, I've thought about studying and researching more about heart transplants, in preparation for mine, but the FEAR of what I'll discover always holds me back.

I'm writing a paper about my heart future, stirring up lots of emotions. Last night we read other papers. I've rediscovered that EVERYONE is going thru something HUGE. Each of us is shouldering a burden, we can't always see it, but we can strengthen our bros & sis by standing with them. We are not alone in this journey thru the wilderness. He is there, and He gives us strength. He knows our burdens. He knows what we can handle. Stay strong.
