You just never know when some inanity you utter (or write) ends up being the right thing for some person who needs it at that moment. You are so beautiful to watch on this wonderful journey called YOUR LIFE! And...you were never broken...you were just "off the path" (as in over there where the rocks and thornbushes are) for awhile. Don't forget my favorite Emerson quote--"Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."

But they are just that, they are a part of our body, and our body is a beautiful thing. A "Happy Weight" doesn't have to be a number on a scale, you are so right. <br /><br />We need to learn to embrace our bodies for what they are. They house our minds, our hearts and our souls, if you believe in that sort of thing. It deserves respect, like anyone and anything else - especially because they are our own! <br /><br />Your running thoughts make perfect sense, and I am so glad that you yourself have run with them and just let them flow, because you've made some incredibly valid points, and you've also motivated me and put a smile on my face.<br /><br />Namaste!Eleanorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15044578287561673372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1192166219317922732.post-87155820817612998322010-08-14T11:30:06.573+02:002010-08-14T11:30:06.573+02:00Hey Gillian,
