- Just some thoughts early in the morning
- ---------------------------------------
-
- Odd how we decide things. I grew up hating my body. I was never thin
- enough or active enough. I hated this or that about my body. It seemed
- as if I spent my life in an armed relationship with my body never
- trusting that it would be what I wanted. And yet in reality, my body
- should be my best friend.
-
- I realized that all those years of hating how I looked - of always
- wanting to change something about my body - of always being disappointed
- at how it performed or more often didn't. I spent those decades searching
- for that acceptance of my body from others. If you liked me then I would
- be ok. And so it is, to my mind, a small wonder that while I think I know
- my body well and recognize how it works, I don't trust it.
-
- There is a base line certainty that my body is against me. Perhaps that
- is not uncommon for many of us. I don't know. Perhaps that is how society
- has raised us however indirectly that we never really like our bodies.
- But where I am now that has to change. My body and I are in the middle
- of a new relationship that cannot survive a relationship based on fear.
- I need to gather in my acceptance of that body I live in and realize
- that these next many months are going to strain that view of me a great
- deal.
-
- There are changes happening already. I've got connections now wired
- into my veins that will become hooked to machines. I've no doubt that
- the chemicals they dump into me in high levels will do things to my
- body I won't like. Nor will my body have much fun either. So learning
- to love my body and the changes it is taking now will become essential
- to this journey. At a juncture such as this, I can choose to be an
- invalid or a survivor.
-
- I choose not to spend my life looking out and wondering what I missed. I
- intend to expect my body to keep up. And to that end, I need to learn
- now to become my own best friend.

- Me
