Day Two
“Wake up and think about your health.” Almost. Pretty close.
Better than ever before.
Had a fantastic healthy breakfast of oatmeal to which I
added: chopped apple, chopped dried plums (cracks me up – we all know they are
prunes, you’re not fooling anyone, except Millennials, which I guess is the
point), sunflower seeds, chia seeds, and hemp. I haven’t put sugar on my
oatmeal in years and can’t believe I ever did. Surprising. It was a delicious
meal and I savored every bite.
Took all of my vitamin, thyroid, and turmeric (my new thing)
pills and those pills with 10 billion somethings that are supposed to be in
your stomach. And, coffee. Thank God they’re saying coffee is good for you.
Did some of the exercises my old physical therapist gave me for my
posture when she was treating my shoulder, um, torn rotator cuff, that’s it. I
forget. I have had so many injuries. I’ll tell you about them some time. It’ll
be fun. Really. Like the time I broke my arm when I fell off a train in England
on the way to school in the Cotswolds. Wish someone had filmed that! But, that’s
for later.
Recently I’ve had call to look at
old pictures. Very old pictures. This morning it hit me like a ton of bricks that I
have spent my entire life berating myself for how I look. But, I look at
those pictures and I think I was kinda cute. And, I wasn’t fat, I just wasn’t
Twiggy. Seriously, I wasn’t bad and I like the spirit I see on my face and in
my eyes. So, I decided to be ok with how I am today. If I do nothing I could
still look back at pictures of me today and say, “Jeez, I wish I had
appreciated how good I have it.”
So, day two. I appreciate how good I have it today.
