Thankful for Who I Am and Where I've Been

By , SparkPeople Blogger
Today, I am thankful.

For the job that allows me to help make a difference in people's lives. For the boyfriend who supports me unconditionally. For the family who loves me. For the friends who stand by me when life gets tough. For the education I've received, for the places I've been, for the things that I've seen.

For the body I have.

The one that allows me to run--in a 10K race, not just when I'm being chased...
that allows me to ride my bike, without training wheels after a 21-year hiatus...
that allows me to support my body weight while contorting into various yoga poses...
that permits me to enjoy moments of peace and calm, after years of omnipresent anxiety...
that has forgiven me for years of yo-yo dieting, unhealthy behavior and neglect.
Today, I am thankful.

Why are you thankful?
