cute like mine.

there were certain things about my body that i didn't like hated growing up.
i would stand in front of the mirror and obsess over them.
legs,
butt,
arms,
stomach.
there was an overall self loathing.
and don't even get me started on the scale.
i looked at my kids today in their little swimsuits.
playing in the sun.
and the heat of june.
and i couldn't stop myself from thinking how cute their little bums were.
the little bits of this and that here and there.
and it got me thinking,
man, their stomach's are cute like mine.
their legs are cute like mine.
their arms are cute like mine.
their bums are cute like mine!
this body that i have.
that grew and born the two most beautiful bodies i have ever seen.
that fed and nourished these two tiny people.
{tiny is of course relative with brennan}.
and i couldn't believe i spent so long hating my body,
loathing my body,

that's perfectly cute like theirs.
and it's been that way all along.
lesson learned.
