APPRECIATING OUR BODIES

     As a general rule, I think we under appreciate our bodies. We are cavalier about our health, our breath, and our moving parts. We speak cruelly about our physical selves. We forget to honor all that is beautiful and functional and strong in us, and we gripe about our imperfections instead. We pick ourselves apart.
     Let's not! Let's celebrate the miraculous wonder of our bodies and treat them with kindness and care. Let's say thank you every day for all of the physical aspects of ourselves that we so easily and readily take for granted.

I appreciate my miraculous body and stop whining about my little aches and pains.
