Guest guest Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Thanks Judy, for the reminder to be grateful for what I have. How I feel really is all about my attitude towards things. Arnie > > hi everyone, > i had an experience i would like to share. i was walking down the main street of our town feeling fat and ugly,complaining in my head how unhappy i was because i was fat and everyone else i saw was jogging or riding bikes looking fit.i looked up and i saw a young man in a wheel chair. he had a smile on his face and said isn't it a beautiful day. first i thought ok God i hear you. then i started thinking,my legs are short and chubby but they get me around.I might have a budda belly but i am healthy..so for me i decided for today i would love myself the way i am. and be grateful for my body flaws and all. i know it's not easy but if the young man in the wheelchair could be so upbeat. i should try to be more like him. so when we start beating our selfs up for not being perfect or thin enough, remember we are all beautiful in our own unique way.we deserve to eat,and have fun with life. stop buying those silly womens mags that are unrealistic for most of us.i hope everyone has a really great thanksgiving and enjoy the good food and family friends or whoever. > > > > HAPPY THANKSGIVING > > JUDY > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Hi Judy, That was a very uplifting email! Thanks. It makes me feel really good to know you decided to love yourself the way you are; that's what I'm doing my darndest to do also, and it's nice to have the company :.) I hope you have a fantastic Thanksgiving! I just bought an Italian Almond Creme Cake for Thanksgiving, lol, looks yummy! Happy Thanksgiving everyone :.)

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 That is a very good step to take Judy. And a brave one too. I bet you find it has pay back that you never would have guessed too. Its too easy to forget that as bad as we think a situation is, it could be worse too. You are right - your body does function and serve you well every day.
