Twenty
My current ejection fraction. When assessing a heart's ability to perform cardiologists use the EF to determine what percentage of blood in the left ventricle is being pushed out with each heartbeat. Anything below 40 gets categorized as heart failure.
Tired
My current state of being. Even when a person loves what they are doing with their time and who they are doing that time with, a busy and mentally-stimulating schedule can lead to fatigue. Nine hours of solid sleep a night is normal for a toddler.
Trust
My current mantra. It can be hard for a person to put faith and hope in those who are meant to help, like doctors and pilots and sixth graders, even when that person can understand what the others are doing. It can be even harder for a person to put faith and hope in those who are meant to help, like God and Jesus and the Spirit, when that person realizes they will never understand what the others are doing.
Transplant
My current fear. When a heart reaches a certain level of damage there is a chance that--even with the assistance of medication and technology and healthy eating and exercise--it won't be able to properly function again. So a new healthy heart is needed to replace the one that is failing.
Today
My current goal. The present twenty-four hour time frame gives people a reference to where they are in history. It is issued a date that cycles in a twelve-month calendar in relation to the sun and the seasons. It is not the past (yesterday) or the present (tomorrow). It is the now. And it is what you get to enjoy.
Truth.
