wait. they don't love you like i love you.

have you ever sat still and been very aware of your body? think of all that it does. elbows, fingers, facial muscles. think about eyelashes and ankle bones. we have such a gift. if i desired to, i could run and run and run. i could run across this country. i could jump in the ocean and swim until i was tired and then float. i take deep breaths and hear music. i can see the sun shine and my brain comprehends all of this. our bodies are out of this world. they give us our ability to experience living. we should take better care of them, not for any other reason than that we love them.

today my pup is visiting. he spent the night and is now curled up next to me.
i have laundry to do and then i'm going to take an hour or so just taking care of myself. bubble bath, new nail polish. i think i'll spend the couple hours before seth is home at the library. have a joyful day!
