I'll admit it...I haven't been feeling so great about my body lately. Thanks to the events of the last few months, I'm carrying some extra weight -- the grief baby, as I am calling it -- and generally am not motivated to do much, though I'm trying.
So this article was very timely for me. I need to remember to celebrate my body. My ticker is still ticking. My legs are still carrying me. My brain is still functioning (well, mostly!). I had similar feelings after my grandma passed away...I found myself complaining about my body, and then remembered...it's still functioning. Regardless of what I do to it, I wake up every morning, am able to get out of bed and go on with my day, however I please.
So I say thank you...thank you dear body for giving me these strong legs to help me keep walking through the last few months, arms to reach out when I need help, and a heart that will keep on beating, even while it mends itself.
