My Actifit Report Card: February 14 2025

Just what I needed to clear my thoughts was a lengthy stroll with three newborns and a toddler among my small crew.

The water somehow always appeals to me.

The youngsters enjoy it too; the water flowing, the boats floating past, the birds darting about is hypnotic.

The babies were all asleep by the time we got to the riverbank, and my toddler was contentedly singing away.

My only regret? I'd forgotten my gloves, and the biting wind quickly turned my fingers to ice.

Even that couldn't completely steal my peace, though.

My thoughts kept drifting to my aunt.

Her open-heart surgery had started at 8 this morning.

Two heart valves replaced, a section of the main artery renewed—a five-hour procedure.

Until I heard it was over, I was on pins and needles.

Finally, the good news arrived!

The operation was a success, and we could visit her.

My brother and I jumped in his car and drove straight to the hospital, a 45-minute ride that felt like a lifetime.

I couldn't rest until I saw her in person.

At the ICU, two nurses gave us a thorough update.

My aunt, who has no children or partner, had named us as her closest family.

Seeing her in that bed, surrounded by beeping machines, brought home just how precious good health is.

Something money simply can't buy.

I won't go into any more depressing details, but I would really appreciate it if you could send her some happy thoughts, strength, and prayers.

She can use all the help she can get because her way to recovery will be long and hard.

Goodnight everyone, and wishing you a healthy tomorrow.

Wishing you all the best in life and much health.
