day 14 I don’t like the question so much



Truth-write a love letter to your body include all the ways it helps you experience the world.
Dare- send a sexy text to your man.  A picture is worth bonus points.

OK, I'm going to just be honest with you.  I do not like this question.  I am especially offended by the idea of sexting my man. Maybe that is not what the question means, but it is easy to imply this.   I would NEVER want my kids to send sexy text to anyone.  No racy photos.  NO!  And my husband uses an email account that is open for review.  I do not think it's appropriate to send him sexy text messages.  You would think I'm old fashion and a prude.  Maybe I am.  But I find this form of communication degrades women.  And I am a very valuable person.  I am insulted by this.  That is how I feel about this.

I love my beautiful body that is starting to fail



And I also find the love letter to my body kind of silly.  I’m 55 years old.  I’m grateful for my body.  I have grey hair.  And I contently wonder if I should embrace the grey or keep coloring it?  The wrinkles are coming.  Everything has moved “south”.  But everything works.  I’ve had trouble with my knee.  But I spent two hours on my knees yesterday pulling weeds.  And my back hurts a little from the hard garden work.  I walk an hour a day with my dog.  And I’m reading a book on a different sort of diet because there is too much of me (smile).  My eyes are weaker than they once were.  So I need to wear reading glasses.  But my blood pressure, cholesterol, etc. are all good.  And I do not have cancer like many friends have experienced.  I am grateful for my body…but I have never loved my thighs and oversized butt.  I’m never going to be “in love” with my body.  My body is fading.  And it is only going to get worse.  I love who I am.  I feel comfortable in my skin.  I accept myself but I do not obsess over myself.  I use to be “beautiful”.  That was so much work.  Now I only care about my health, not my looks.  I want the beauty that is in my heart, the peace and love I host to be what people see.  The rest is so superficial and fleeting.  I do not want to offend whoever wrote these questions.  I am sure you had your reasons.  But I have 3 daughter.  One of my daughters is 14 years old.  And I would not approve of her answering a question like this.  I would especially never want her to sextet anyone.
