find gratitude (body edition)

Dear body: thank you for waiting until the night after my long run to start bleeding. That is so kind of you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I am  not even going to bitch about you coming on with so much agonizing pain I can’t sleep through it. It’s ok. I love you.

I’m not even going to complain that you woke up so hungry that it hurts a lot. You need what you need. You are doing a good job of asking for your needs lately. Keep it up.

I’m thrilled with your ability to show up and do what I want. I appreciate that you rarely flake on me. Bodies are tricky things. Sometimes the mind says “I want to do ____” and the body laughs. Not today, bio-tech. Mostly my body cooperates. Thank you.

My head and arms hurt. I’m grateful for the reminder that I am alive. I’m grateful for the reminder to rest.

I didn’t have a bad day before I started bleeding and I often do. That’s pretty awesome.

Today is a clothes swap. We’ll see what I find. Maybe some pants without a hole. Who knows.

    🙂 This makes me happy. Yay, Krissy’s body! 🙂

    In other news, booo Debbie’s body. Took a heavy dose of cough syrup last night bc I didn’t sleep Friday night due to coughing. I take my lovely long-term healthiness for granted and I’m annoyed for recent succumbtions (??) to illness. Maybe I should exercise more. Er. or Start.

    Love.
