Dance with your shadow

Today, I am grateful for a sore body. I am thankful for my beautifully unique form, the ability to move and the sensation of cultivating strength. 

I am learning how to have a broad perspective on the way I respond to different things, foods, energy, people, activities. I am gaining a deeper understanding of what it means to "tune in" in this way. 

I accomplished being gentle with myself and postponing some meetings I just didn’t have the energy for. Instead of “powering through” or making excuses for why I needed to reschedule, I just moved the meeting.  

I delighted in remembering my uncle and his outstanding life while writing his obituary, in putting me first, and in not giving two fucks what I looked like today.
