The other night, I was almost asleep, and then I started thinking about my parents.

Both of them had strokes.

My mom, when she was 58. I’m getting closer to that age. It’s right around the corner. My dad had his stroke at 80.

And so I decided I need a little reassurance. I did a little late night reading. Just enough to settle me, so I could go to sleep; and then make some changes as needed to be healthier. No time like the present.

We’ll see how that goes. I’ve got three school-age kids to see through to adulthood (at least!),

God willing.

But also? I want to share this info with you.
