It has been a day of trying to keep pace with the racing of my heart.  I began a new medication two days ago that has been giving me a few negative side effects...heart palpitations, being one of them.  It brought me home a little early from work today so I could lay down and see if resting would help.  I sure hope I hurry up and adjust to it, or I may stop it altogether.  I can do "jittery" all by myself!

I made it through another support group meeting last night.  It was a tough one, focusing specifically on the loss of a spouse.  I upset myself at the start, when I discovered a picture of Mike in my book, taken just months before his diagnosis.  I had been looking at it earlier in the week while doing the bookwork. I didn't intend on going back to the meetings, but changed my mind, and forgot the picture was in my book. 

If that wasn't enough of a distraction, my cell phone kept turning itself back on during the meeting, after I would shut it off.  It has been doing this to me every meeting I've gone to there.  It crossed my mind, that if it were possible, Mike would be messing with me.  That would be just his personality, trying to keep my heart light.  He guarded it his whole life. 

I was, and am still, SO blessed!
