Yes, eednic! Years past, I'd have had beat myself up for not running this beautiful morning. Instead I used the morning to work out a new knitting technique and took a long walk with my dog this afternoon.
Thanks, Sally, for the reinforcement.

A good mantra, Sal. I'm trying to think of mine as beautiful and capable of creating miracles, no matter what its shape or composition.

Whenever I can remember, I remind the people in my classes (and myself) to be grateful we have working arms and legs. Among other things.

Thank you. This made me cry and I am not quite sure why. It's been such a long road to care and acceptance of my body and maybe I am crying because of all the young women out there who suffer so needlessly. Thank you, Sal. I will share this everywhere I can.

Call me crazy, but I just don't want to THINK of my body that much. Either with love or hate. I just want to keep it in shape and cover it with clothes that look good!

Thank you for this post, Sal. :)

Thank you for this post, Sal. :)

It's my mind that needs all that now. My body just needs me to get through the next few weeks! It will just have to be a rock

Exactly! I try very hard not to take my body (for all its imperfections) for granted and to love it for all that it does for me and all of its glory. Thanks for the reminder.

this is so true....you really must love yourself (...

2009-11-09T12:07:03.600-06:00

this is so true....you really must love yourself (or make peace with it) and your body to be truly happy.

in my geeky english-loving soul, i just enjoyed learning about the phrase "just deserts"! not that the message isn't a good one. it is. i like the way you list each word on its own line.

Oh my gosh, that picture is beautiful. I know people get down on having freckles on their back like that, but I LOVE it and wish I had some!

i concur with all of this! which explains why i didn't get out of bed this morning to go jogging and instead snuggled with my puppy.

That's right- certainly nobody but us! Powerful & profound words, Sal.
Lambasted should also be used more often I'd say...

We are given the gift of bodies for a short time. Why show no gratitude and waste time hating them?

2009-11-09T08:57:46.611-06:00

this was very powerful and i loved how empowering it was. i think often times women look to others for compliments/admiration when it really should be their own love and affection towards their bodies that means the most.

I saw a young woman not too long ago- she was probably 18 or so- and she was a beautiful young girl. One of her legs stopped just above her knee. I don't know if she was in an accident, had diabetes, who knows. But it made me think about all the things we take for granted. My body doesn't have to me a model's to be good or perfect for me. This is my only body, the only one I will ever have, and I need to appriciate it while I have it.
