Letter to my body!

First timer.

Letter to my body.

You may not be the size I would like, but you have served me exceptionally well within!

You have done way more than I expected and this is my first attempt to thank you and my first public writing.

Body, you have my deepest gratitude for keeping me alive. Thank you!! Your wisdom amazes me time after time.

You surprised me with your strength, with grit and with resilience when all felt lost.

Day after day you moved forward even when it was so dangerous. You kept going and I'm so proud of you.

Oh heart I am most proud of you. You have faced torment from within and without. And I'm so very proud of you for offering the buoyancy I desperately needed and did not see modelled.

“Well done” seems too small a phrase. I know now you are my best ally and you are on my side.

When all felt lost, when it felt my mind was going, you stayed true to me. You spoke truth to me. You stayed when all others were far.

Telling me that I am worth it. Telling me that the pain will end. Telling me it was not my fault.

Now I see you! Now I am no longer afraid to look within and I thank you.

With love
