It just doesn't get old.
That big revelation that I had last week that started with me making a list of ten things I love/appreciate/am proud of about my body?
I have decided that I'm going to make that same(ish) list every Monday, but I will not be looking back at the previous week's list to do so. I will have to generate a new list every week. I am sure that some (most?) things will repeat from week to week, but I am hoping that not everything will. Because if eight things stay the same this week and two are different, then combining with last week's list, I will have twelve things that I love/appreciate/am proud of about my body.
And that's kind of cool.
So, in no particular order...
1. I have strong legs that carried me for a seven-mile walk this weekend...and even felt like they could have gone further.
2. I have calves of steel. They're strong, and they look damn fine.
3. I have a coordinated body that can dance a mean salsa...or Gahu...or penguin dance.
4. I have beautiful hazel eyes, which look particularly nice when I'm in purple. (How convenient, too, since it's one of my favorite colors!)
5. I have strong arms that can do 100 pushups (in nine minutes).
6. I have cute freckles that keep me looking young (and are coming out more and more with the outdoor walks and sunshine).
7. I have a huge smile that takes up half of my face when I want it to.
8. I have agile fingers that are adept at playing a number of musical instruments from recorder to piano, ukulele to djembe.
9. I have an expressive face that never fails to get my point across.
10. I have lovely (and cooperative) hair that is beautiful both curly and straight.
