Grateful for my body

While walking a trail with my husband and kiddo today, I said, ‘I need to take advantage of my body more.’ Naturally, my husband came back with the exact kind of comment you’d expect — ‘I’d like to watch that!’ 😂 I laughed because, well, I walked right into it. Oh, and our kiddo was far enough away that he didn’t hear our conversation, I’m not trying to scar him lol. But what I meant was this: at 40, I’m incredibly grateful that my body feels strong and capable. Aside from migraines I’ve had since my teens, I don’t deal with chronic pain or illness, and I want to honor and appreciate my body accordingly. It was just a nice moment that I wanted to share. 💜
