Today I am grateful for my healthy body.
I, like many women, have always been quick to notice and point out and remember my body's flaws.
It is too easy to counter any compliment I receive about my physical appearance with a harsh word (sometimes spoken aloud, sometimes just in my head).
Today, however, I will not take such a wonderful blessing for granted.
I am grateful that I have this remarkable body that
breathes and
functions perfectly every day.
I am grateful that I had a healthy pregnancy and was able to bring a
healthy child into this world.
I am grateful that I can walk and sing and dance and run.
I am grateful that I can see my son's smile and hear his baby coos.
In recognition of my gratitude, today I will honor my body.
I will exercise and
eat healthful foods and
hold my perfect baby
in my whole and capable arms.
