Dear Body,

Thank you for sticking with me so far.
I know I don't always treat you the best,
But I really do love you.

To my feet,
Is there a reason you're so large?
I'm sorry for occassionally bumping into things
with you.
Thank you for looking so cute in shoes.

To my legs,
I apologize for not appreciating you more-
You are, after all, my most reliable method of transportation.

To my knees,
Why must you hurt all the time?
I really do try to take care of you.

To my bum,
Thanks for being so comfy to sit on.
I wouldn't mind if you got a bit smaller, though.

To my stomach,
I'm sorry for filling you with junk food, too much food,
or even not enough food, depending on the day.

To my back,
You have problems.
We both know it.
Get over yourself, please.

To my chest,
I rather like you, and I always have.
Congratulations - you are the only part of me
which I wouldn't mind seeing get bigger.

To my arms,
I'm sorry for not using you more
to build up your muscles.
Thank you for having blonde hair
so I don't look like an ape.

To my mouth,
I apologize for not putting chapstick on you more often.
Sorry you haven't gotten more action;
I'll try to fix that in the future.

To my nose,
Is there a reason you must have such large pores?!?
I really can't stand it, although you are decently cute.

To my eyes,
Thank you for being such a pretty blue.
I'm sorry for not getting updated perscriptions for
your glasses as often as I should.

To my eyebrows,
I know you're rather bushy, but
I just can't deal with plucking you. Sorry.

To my hair,
I apologize for dyeing you so often
and for not appreciating you more.

To my skin,
Could you please tan a bit easier? As you are,
you are much too pale; you make me look like a ghost.

To my heart,
I'm so sorry you've gotten hurt so many times. I hope so dearly
that it won't happen again; I cannot make any promises, though.

To my uterus,
You. The problem part. Is there a reason you are so problematic?
Is being normal too much to ask? There is a chance that I may want
children, someday. I know
you would have to stretch - a lot - for that to happen, but
Come on!!! Its what you were made to do!
Throwing a fit like this is very unbecoming.
Pull it together. Now.

So thank you, body, for these 18 years we've shared together.
I look forward to all the years to come with
great anticipation.
I know you're not perfect, but
neither am I. And
I'm ok with that.
I love you.

Love,
Grace
