Dear, My Body

The past few weeks have been pretty great. We've been doing a lot of hot yoga together and it has had nothing but positive effects. You're more flexible, and becoming stronger with each class. It has been so nice to connect with you and get to know you better.

I know things have been going well, and this is the main reason to apologize to you for last night. I wasn't expecting the prof to be so generous. 8+ shots in I realized that doing this wasn't really fair to all of the hard work I have been putting into you, but 8+ shots in is not a good place to be making choices about when to stop drinking.

On that note, I hope you enjoyed the walk home from geo pub night. It was a beautiful, warm night and we made it safe and sound. Also, because I didn't have to spend any money on drinks (Thanks Civil Department and Prof. D!) I can spoil you with lovely fresh fruits and veggies.

I would like to take this time to thank you for your loveliness and your hard work. You carry me around and get me to where I need to go. Your internal systems are absolutely astounding and incredible. I often marvel at your ability to heal. Thank you for putting up with my abuse. For putting up with not enough sleep. For putting up with being fed KD instead of a real meal. Thank you for giving me signals to let me know that I am not treating you properly.

You, body, are incredible. I would never trade you for another body, nor would I have reason to. You are wonderful and perfect just as you are.

Thank you for being my body.
