Dog Days of my Twenties...#7

Some of us have life long struggles. We may win battles and lose battles...but the war trudges on regardless of what the rest of our lives look like.

It's important that we acknowledge and come to peace with that struggle because sometimes it's all you have. So you might as well be friendly with it.

Mine is my body. I know this.

I've been thin--ish. I've been morbidly obese. I've been really physically fit. I've been a dancer. I've been unable to make it up stairs without wheezing. I've had surgeries and diseases and chronic pain and achieved amazing things with it. I've done this all before age 30.

I can only imagine how this body of mine which I have abused and cherished is going to age...I'm praying for grace but hoping for, at least, acceptance.

In the meantime...the war wages on.
