~A Valentine to my Body



“I'm loving my body with fuel-food, exercise and rest every single day.
I am calm ~ I am content ~ I am walking in my truth ~ I'm dancing with Mary J. Blige.”

Thank you for giving me close to 60 awesome years so far – and thank you for blessing me with good health.

Thank you for producing two beautiful human beings  and providing the stamina and ability to watch them grow. . .

Thank you for being strong and carrying me through this wonderful journey .
Thank you for muscles that enable me to shovel piles of snow when needed.

Thank you for helping me to get up and walk away from things that are not good for me.

Yes, for all this and so much more, thank you – I love you!
