A Conference in Hawaii Day 3 “Write Baby, Write” December 6, 2019

by reissmd, posted in Uncategorized

Day 2 of the conference was much better. One of the lectures was on “Psychological States and Heart Failure Health”. Apparently if you write in a journal daily it lowers your cardiac risk. So my blog is helping me live longer! Having gratitude is also supposedly helpful, so thank you to everyone that reads the blog and makes comments. I need to focus on the good things in life so I can maintain good cardiac health. This is not always easy for me, but let’s give it a try right now by reviewing my day.

Okay, I got up early and ran 3.1 miles on the treadmill. Thats a good start, no? It was raining, hmmmmm. Oops, that is a negative thought. I need to find a positive spin. I have it: rain in Hawaii is a great opportunity to see a rainbow. But the sun wasn’t up yet, so no rainbow. Robert STOP THOSE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS! Heh, I think I can do this I just need to try harder. The conference was running late again (Oh no! Negative thoughts!) but they cut out a session that seemed like it would have been very boring so we are back on schedule (Whew, good save!). Patrice came to visit me during the break (feeling good). I received text messages from Lindsay and Erica during the meeting. Don’t stop me, I am on a roll and feeling my heart just swelling with joy. Heart swelling doesn’t sound good. How about this instead; my heart is warmed with love. Morning session over. Time to meet Patrice for LUNCH.

Quick lunch at the Island Gourmet Market followed by a leisurely exploration of the area with my wife. Feeling great, this heart health thing is a snap. Time to return to the conference. I learned lots of great pearls to take home to my patients. My heart is getting healthier with every key stroke. And look what Patrice found while I was at the conference.

Not just one rainbow but two.

After the conference Patrice asked how the conference went today and how was I doing. See our conversation below.

  2. Rain is good luck on Hawaii… so rain is a positive thought. There’s a great country song that goes, “rain make corn, corn makes whiskey, whiskey makes my baby… get a little frisky.” Rain is positive:)

    BTW You actually going to the meeting while your family enjoying Hawaii… unbelievable! I would have found an excuse to cut out by 0900.
