I Like It

I work on my body because I like the way it looks and feels. Not just internally, though I like that too. I like the firmness in my tummy when I put lotion on in the morning. I like what I see in reflections and pictures. I like the strength I feel under my skin while I’m climbing stairs or teaching classes. I like the shape of my shoulder as my hand rests on it while settling onto the couch in the evening. This isn’t vanity. This is pride and I absofuckinlutely like it!
