I wasn’t always grateful for my body.
Over the years, I have spent an incredible number of hours critiquing this place that has been my home throughout my entire existence. My boobs are too small. I have chicken legs. I hate my scars from childhood falls. I wish the gap between my teeth were in my front tooth—like my mom’s. I want my curls a little softer—like my cousins’. I don’t like my nose.
And all of that predates my three bouts with cancer and the changes of middle age. Now I have graying hair, an aching back, sciatica in my left leg, more scars from surgery, limited lung capacity from radiation, lymphedema (swelling) in my left arm, hot flashes, and a left breast that is misshapen from cancer treatment.
