Divine Body. Revel and marvel in what your body can do, most of it without our consciously telling it to. I wish I had drawn the card before I went to the gym...might have given me something to concentrate on rather than "is this almost over??".
I came home, drew the card, and was able to fully relish thanking my body for what it does for me. I did forget to dry brush like I had intended...but there is always tomorrow. But nice hot shower, using all sorts of lotions and bath products that I got for Christmas. Lovely home pedicure. And best of all, a white chocolate body butter. It is so luxurious, and smells too good to be true. It takes a lot of self restraint to not just dig a spoon in there.
After a bit of down time, I used the Wii. I am trying to do 1/2 hour on the Wii (in addition to any other activity). Some balance excercises, a little more cardio (it baffles me how my arms can hurt so much after boxing with an imaginary opponent) I finally figured out how to put a few of the yoga routines together so they created a seamless program. I do like yoga...I did one of the classes at the gym a while ago, and just felt too self conscious at my lack of ability. I enjoyed being able to do it at home. Stretching out, a way of giving thanks to this body of mine.
So I apologize to you, dear body, for the abuse that I put you through. I will try to treat you with more respect. Thank you for all you do.
Though if your body is a temple, I feel like a cold is seeking sanctuary. Can a temple serve an eviction notice??
