This post made my day! I love that you love your body for it’s truth: that it has endured much and overcome! That we are alive at 65 (me at 54) is an amazing feat and you are showing me how better to love an honor this body I inhabit that’s carried me this far!

And dressing it’s form is fun! Sounds like you have found ways to decorate it that feel good and right. Rock on!!

Hi Kerry, I agree with you completely. Our bodies, unique and aging, are definitely gifts from God. Just today I’ve really been battling with my self-esteem issues. As with most women, they rise up and taunt me some days more than others. And after reviewing the photos for tomorrow’s post, I’ve just really been sinking. But your comments really put things in perspective.

I do want you to know though, that I do not have a lovely hourglass figure either. I have noticed a definite increase in lower belly fat gain in the recent year, as well as a spread in my hips. And that’s with me working very hard to eat right and exercise regularly. Getting older is not a smooth path for anyone. We all have our “things” for sure.

Again, thanks so much for sharing. May God bless you with many more years of cancer-free good health!
