I feel that our connection has only gotten stronger with time and especially through these hectic periods in our life together.

Had that little "Brain / Heart" moment a few days ago.

Now prior to this event, I have had been running myself ragged . I virtually had no sleep at all for the past few days prior to the event. I had to work and then come home to help my neighbour's daughter out with her G2 driver's license (she is the daughter of a single mom and her mom has to work full time to provide for their family) and then have a few hours of rest and time with my wife and then I was off to work again. To naturally I fell sick Lol! (Bad cold and extreme headaches to the point where I was bed ridden.) On my wife's orders I took the day off and was told to rest.

So on the night of that day, my beloved said that she was running a little late from work today and couldn't make it in time to make dinner (I would have gladly done it, but she had given me strict orders to stay put in bed...) So she said that she has ordered food in for us and the delivery guy should be arriving shortly at my door. 30 mins. later, I found myself sleeping, only to be woken up by my crying worried wife. She said that the delivery guy came by the door and he couldn't get an answer from my house. My beloved had called me shortly after to see if everything was alright and when she didn't get an answer, she panicked and drove ALL the way from work to our house in desperation to see if everything is alright.

When she came by the house, she found me sleeping. I had dosed off... Too exhausted. I spent the next 10 mins. calming my crying wife down who thought that something had happened; I have a history of hypoglycemia related issues and a possible faint would have meant life threatening issues. Stress has shown to trigger symptoms of it in the past.

So in comes the "Brain / heart" moment:

Brain: "Is she crazy?! She drove like a mad woman all the way home! She could have gotten into an accident along the way! God damn it! She could have called 911 if she suspected an issue! The ambulance station is just a few blocks away! She is a budding medical professional! She should know better!"

Heart: *To Brain* "Oh do shut up you overgrown lump of fat! She cared about us enough to drive all the way from work (which is about 25 mins. Away) while crying her eyes in desperation! She cares THAT much about us! Clam up, put your arms out, hold her and tell her that you are fine and that everything is alright.

Heart won over Brain this time around Lol!

These are the moments that are worth living for in life... But I guess that's the Libra view on things .

Here is another dramatic update from your's truly... I recently got my locks chopped off for charity .

We had a charity drive charity drive where you kinda put yourself in a patient's shoes who is undergoing chemotherapy. So what I did was paid for a VERY expensive haircut. Nah! I donated the money since I couldn't donate the hair but went through the ceremonial cutting anyway; Just to appease my co-workers .

Result?

I can't think of "brain vs. heart" moment that doesn't take a lot of explaining and/or has a depressing side to it so I don't feel like sharing on that either. And generally speaking the "brain/heart" are actually layered over each other for me, or translated to the standard dichotomous model, they're constantly informing each other.
