Hi friends,
I want to share this little cutie. It was the December swap of our partner's 5 favorite things for this group. Katy picked Robots, Red, Snowflakes, Houses and Woodland Creatures. I had a wonderful time after Christmas hand quilting this while watching "McLeod's Daughters". (I am so addicted to that show...luckily I still have 4 more years worth of shows to watch! I would also post a link, but I am concerned about seeing any spoilers. No. No. NO!) I am starting to like hand quilting more and more. I love doing the smaller projects by hand especially.
On to the meat of the post:
I am deep in the thralls of self-loathing. Specifically, I have been saying a lot of mean things to myself about my physical self.
Not a good plan.
Not who I want to be, and not what I want to hear.
As a positive project, I am embarking on a daily positive thought about my body this month...maybe I can end on Valentine's day?? This can be my valentine to myself...
I think this is a better plan.
Day 1:
I like that I am 6 feet tall.
Feel free to participate if this is an issue for you too...there is entirely too much negative self-talk going around, I have heard it. You don't have to post it publicly, you could even just make a list on an old piece of notebook paper and keep it in your night table drawer. I am hoping that I can get back on track with finding the things that I like about my body instead of just focusing on what I don't like. Join me!

Body image is sooo far down on my list of concerns that I seldom think of it. Basically, if my body works in any way, shape or form, I am grateful! This is not to discount the importance of body image to you,however. Know what I like about your body? (sounds kinda creepy coming from another woman doesn't it?) You have beautiful eyes that crinkle up with a big smile. You wear cool glasses which I can't seem to find in a bifocal style. And I love the way you look at things, both through the camera lens and from your perspective as a thoughtful, creative woman.
