Just keep swimming
Today I was grumpy. I've been struggling with the state of my Sugar Belly and the fact that it wants to stay for a cuddle rather than disappearing.
My mom called to go out to the little independent shops so I got out of my schlumpy clothes, put on some makeup and put on some Sugar Belly skimming clothes. I guess the idea was to send a message to the Sugar Belly that even though I don't really appreciate it's non-deflating tendencies, I still am ok. I can still wear clothes that I look ok in, I can still feel ok about how I look in them. And maybe also it was a message to my brain to stop beating up on me and the belly that I have... Either way I felt a bit better about life.
Today I saw this and it made me cry. It's a bunch of pictures and audio of couples who were married on the first day that NY recognized and performed gay marriage. Listening to what each couple says about what this means to them is beautiful! I love a good love story! So today I am thankful that people in positions of power are starting to realize that we are all wanting the same things: to love and be loved, to care for someone and to be taken care of, and to know that your rights as a human being are being looked after...

Then I went to a 2 year old's birthday party. It was a baby bonanza with 3 toddlers and 3 infants! And seeing kids running around and getting their hands all sandy just so that they are able to wash them in the sprinkler, made me hope that they know how precious they are. And that as they grow up they never have the types of unfriendly thoughts that I was having about my body just a few hours before.
