Even though those things are so superficial, I have been guilty of wishing them away. But recently I have had thoughts like yours in this post. My body is a miracle and those stretch marks are the evidence of it! Thank you so much for this reminder-- I fear I will probably need it again before too long :).<BR/><BR/>By the way, you are beautiful and you look amazing. And your girls are all darling, too.lshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13416936862096902231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27333904.post-281711556999809082008-11-06T12:44:00.000-05:002008-11-06T12:44:00.000-05:00I can learn a lot from you.

But I should be thankful for it in a way. Without it I wouldn't have Connor.Kami Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16889913444195733097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27333904.post-90150254755972125032008-11-06T10:05:00.000-05:002008-11-06T10:05:00.000-05:00Thank you for the reminder to value and appreciate...Thank you for the reminder to value and appreciate our bodies.

You are so smart.<BR/><BR/>This post reminded me of the summer I took care of Tami, a paraplegic. During that time I was so grateful for my body! I remember scrubbing a floor on my hands and knees during this time and thinking, "Oh my gosh!! I am so grateful I can do this!!" It's good to step back every once in a while and realize how good you really do have it.Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699056034389754461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27333904.post-67183966462308218332008-11-05T19:57:00.000-05:002008-11-05T19:57:00.000-05:00Amen.Amen.Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17376760932291224338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27333904.post-74023484797065449062008-11-05T18:59:00.000-05:002008-11-05T18:59:00.000-05:00Thanks Jessi for that.
