Dear body,

Thank you for the way you roll when I dance and jiggle when I laugh. I love the way you exaggerate every movement and amplify every bit of joy.

Thank you for every dimple that studs my smile and crease that frames my eyes. I love that you so thoughtfully etch each moment of happiness into the lines of my face.

Thank you for every hair, every stretch mark and every scar. I love how you've grown with me, bent with me and moved with me.

Dear body, I was going to say I'm sorry for not loving you sooner. But in truth I wouldn't change how we got to where we are now. I'm so grateful for the lessons that have brought me back to you. Back to me. That have brought me back to loving myself and knowing that I am worthy of unconditional love and respect. Always.

So, my dear body, thank you for all that you have been, all that you will be, and all that you are.
