today I do not feel pretty
Or wanted.
But it's really okay. Because I'm able to look at the thought and hold it and put it down, because I am blessed with amazing friends who love me and remind me that it's what's inside that matters.
My legs and feet hurt from running this morning. I'm still going to run tonight. Potatoes and I do not agree with each other and though I do not regret the last two nights of latkes, it is time for penance. I am committed to getting back to my fighting weight and looking like the woman I remember. I chant my usual mantra, Pain Is No Reason For Stopping and I've added Master Owen's, Pain Is Weakness Leaving the Body. Between those two and all the cadence I can remember, I run. The dog runs with me. I'll get there.
And it's Friday. And it's a gorgeous day outside.
I have Yule mischief to get up to, which has been making me smile at random intervals.
So all of this is a long way of saying, to you, yes, you: if you're having a day today too and you don't feel pretty or wanted? I see you. You're beautiful. And I want you in the world.
*smooch*
