Finding that I’m having to grant forgiveness to myself more than another human these days. I’m learning to love a body that I could only find lacking. I’m having to pray for strength and discipline to continue. The road to physical health is leading to being whole mentally and emotionally. As the pounds go, so does the need to erase what I don’t like.
So if you would honor me with your prayers, I’d be ever grateful.
Know you are loved infinitely and abundantly
Regine
Dressed
In spandex
And lycra
As the
Treadmill
And I
Are in
Harmony
As one
Foot
Goes
In front
Of the other
And repeat
For the next
Thirty
Minutes
Belle of
The ball
The pink dress
That matches
Her lips
Diamond studs
Cartier bangle
And a smile
That can
Shatter ice
Love in the face
That give you
The world
If she
Were a
Part of yours
I was speaking with a friend, and she said what are you hoping for, and I jokingly said snail mail, even if that’s what I wanted. A few hours later, I found a card addressed to me. It has just come in the mail, and let me tell you, I just wanted to cry happy tears.
You are teaching
Me to say it
Tell people
What I want
For the unexpected
May happen
Something so simple, yet I will treasure that precious card for a long time. It reminded me that I’m loved in spite of myself. I also am reminded that when you don’t think God is paying attention, He is.
Trust in the minute
And the grandest dreams
Won’t feel so daunting
With His tender loving
Care
My Friday faves
My poodle. 16 years old. He just makes me happy.
You all: You never cease to amaze me. You lavish me with love. A love I don’t deserve but welcome.
Healthy food: I never knew you could taste so good.
A good book: I love getting lost in a good story
Thrifting: the finds are good, but the people are better. Friendly and you never know what you’ll learn.
Your turn?
Love yourself and one another.
A little rest
Before the test
Soothes my soul
Like a coat
Of Vaseline
Smoothing
Out the
Rough edges
Of my soul
