I'm a beauty!!!

10/15/2014

 
So a lot of articles get written about body image and how we should care about our bodies and take care of them well.  However…. at the same time….we are bombarded with messages about what they should look like to REALLY be valuable/attractive etc.  These messages are increasing for men in advertising now too so as a society we are not necessarily moving in the healthy direction.  I like to think of the outer layer of my body as ‘the coat I wear’.  Now….don’t get me wrong….I like nice coats and funky jackets!!  But what matters more to me as I age is that …..for the most part!!!....all my parts work.  My eyes can see, my arms can lift and hug and write and my legs get me places and teach a mean step class!!!  Lol    If you go to an old age home and look at all the walkers lined up outside the dining room you begin to appreciate that the function of our bodies matters more than the look.   And THAT’S why it’s important to take care of them.   I think Laura Smith put it really well in her song “I’m a beauty”.  Enjoy.
