I am thankful for my strong, nimble hands. They can weave lace, bake pies, type pithy comments, hold my cat, and caress my husband with equal facility. Also, my fingernails are strong and look awesome with fun colored fingernail polish.

I am thankful for my sturdy legs and feet that get me where I’m going.

I am thankful for my lovely dark blue eyes that see so much beauty in the world.

I am thankful for my cute button nose that has the right sort of sensitivity to make me a really good cook.

I am thankful for my ears that catch most of what’s going on, even when I’m deeply distracted in my own brain.

I am thankful for my powerful lungs, which help me belt tunes so loudly I can actually be heard down the block. Thanks to my diaphragm and larynx, too! I am also thankful that my voice can be modulated so that small children and animals find me non-threatening.

I am thankful for my brain which is quick and retentive, and capable of adapting to different circumstances with only a brief flutter and freakout.

I am thankful for my belly, which Mr. Twistie loves to play with, and which my cat finds the most comfortable place in the world to be.

I am thankful for my tongue which enjoys food so very much.

I am thankful for my skin which has never broken out and is still youthful looking at 47.

I am thankful for my hair. It’s a gorgeous color that some women pay a lot of money to get, and it’s mine for free!

I am thankful for my face which looks so great in hats, because I adore hats.

I am thankful my back feels good once I finally found the proper treatment.

I am thankful I can walk long distances.

I am thankful I can walk to the 4th floor of the parking garage.

I am thankful I can paint my toenails.

I am thankful that my body allowed me to have a baby and bounce back to a semblance of normality.

I am thankful bulimia did not damage my teeth.

I read this post the day you published it and really loved the “raw-ness” of it. It’s not always easy to put yourself out there and be so honest about things. I loved the reference to the self-care and the fact that you see the things to be thankful for….that leads me to believe you have “hope” – hope for a wonderful future and a lot of growth.

You have so much on your plate right now but it seems (from the observer looking in) that you’re handling things extremely well.

Yes, do make that appointment (if you haven’t already) and do what you can to keep yourself healthy. That’s a gift you can give you yourself (and to SHP). Be gentle with yourself and give yourself some grace.

I think of you often!

Hope you’re still hanging in there and managing to get in some good self-care. I’m thinking about you always.

Yay for sun breaks!

I’ve been thinking about you, and I’m here for you too, should you ever have the urge.

Me too. Things sound hard for you right now. Being from Oregon, I know the rainy season all too well. Be good to yourself.

I think you have struck a good compromise. Doing something out of guilt isn’t the worst thing in the world. It sounds like you have some good boundaries to work with. Maybe you can discuss this with your husband to get his feedback and to show him you are taking care of yourself.
