When I think about the things I take for granted that I ought to be grateful for, the first one that pops into my mind is my body. Probably because I tweaked my shoulder exercising last week, and today in the shower I noticed it wasn’t hurting anymore. It’s incredible, my body is actually self-healing! It’s like it’s a living thing!

I have a pretty good relationship with my body. I’m comfortable with it. Sometimes I feed it good things, like blueberries and home-made yogurt, even though I’m not really hungry, just because it feels good. And I admit, sometimes I take it out to a neighborhood emporium and dose it with colorful and delicious poisons, just to show it who’s boss. And then I stagger home going, whoo, I think I poisoned my incredible body a little too much! But hey, it’s self-healing, I’ll be OK!

I’d post a picture of my incredible body, but Facebook just takes those down when I try it. You have an incredible body, too, so look at that and you’ll get the general idea. Except mine is probably hairier. And if you’re female there are some significant structural differences.
