adorned
Today I honored myself.
I bought some pretty things to adorn myself. Pretty things to celebrate me. Pretty things to make me feel more pretty. This year I’ve lost 38 lbs, without dieting and without trying. I think the hot mama in me is re-emerging. She’s been buried for a very long time. She’s coming back, because I’m coming back. I’m finding myself again, rising from the rubble of the past fifteen or twenty years.
Today I had a migraine. Today I took vicodin. Today I had a massage. Today I shopped. Today I walked. Today I had ice cream. Today I walked through a mall with no anxiety. Today I had the worst Thai food ever. Today I told my kids I love them. Today I dreamed. Today I smiled. Today I laughed. Today blue eyes looked into brown eyes. Today I talked to people I love. Today I remembered people I lost. Today I shared precious memories. Today I learned new things. Today I embraced. Today I kissed. Today I listened. Today I talked. Today I heard music. Today I danced. Today I stretched. Today I did yoga. Today I sang my heart out. Today I cried my eyes out.
Today I realized that everything is going to be okay. Today I am ready to let go. Today I let go. Today I am at peace. Today I am ready to rest.
Today was a very good day.
