HEART

"You gotta' have heart.  All you really need is heart.  When the odds are saying you'll never win, that's when the grin has to start.  You've got to have heart.  Miles 'n miles 'n miles of heart.  Oh it's fine to be a genius of course but keep that old horse before the cart.  First, you gotta have heart"

Did you ever see a real heart?  It's not shaped like the Hallmark Valentine variety.  It's just a big blob of muscle and blood...about the size of your open hand.  I think it kinda looks like a potato with varicose veins.  Anyway, we have some crazy ideas about the heart.  It must really confuse youngsters. 

Did you ever have someone say they loved you from the bottom of their heart?  Why not from the side, middle or the top?  What is so special about the bottom?  Would you be disappointed if I told you I loved you from the middle of my pancreas or the top of my liver?

Did you ever have someone swear truth by saying they cross their heart?  What does that mean?  "Cross your heart and hope to die?"  What does crossing the heart have to do with it?  'Hoping to die' would be good enough for me.

Why do we blame excess stomach acid on the heart?  Heartburn doesn't have anything to do with the heart.

Did anyone ever say you were bighearted?  Is that good?  An enlarged heart is bad.

How about softhearted?  Is that good?  Muscle should be solid.  Hardhearted is bad?

I think we can all agree that heartless is bad.  Did you ever give your heart to someone?  Be careful!!!

Try your best to be warmhearted today!
