waking up just a little bit more....

there's been a lot of things that brought me
to this point....

and i love that.
i love how that works.

so many tiny threads twist together to bring me
somewhere and it isn't until i'm smack in the middle
of it all that i even notice all the different
things that pulled together to make it so.

but here i am.
thinking a ton about my health, my body, and
my relationship with both.

a terminally ill friend wrote me yesterday and
reminded me to rejoice in my health.

no kidding.
talk about a reminder.

i was thinking about that this morning in the shower.
yeah.
that is so much to rejoice about.

i've been thinking about the whole 'the body is
your temple' thing as i read 'women, food and god.'

i've been in search of my belly.
and my center.

i've been waking up to the idea of being mindful,
aware and respectful.

i really do think i'm filled with stars.
i really do.

i know it sounds stupid or poetic or like a nice
visual......

but there's something to it.
i mean that.
even tho i don't know what i mean.

and i'm really really likin' this whole rejoicing
in my health and honoring my body.

i have been concentrating on food and exercise,
but i was reminded recently not to forget my attitude.

i met yet another person who seemed bitter and resentful.
and i wondered about that. that's got to be part of the
whole deal.

if i want to be healthy, i really want it to run all the
way thru every part of me.

thoughts too.

this is feelin' good.
i think i needed this.
