Snow Angels

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow.  As I am writing this today, it is snowing.  The ground is nearly covered and it feels like the holidays’ of my youth. Yeah, those good old days. The holidays in Michigan ……. Flash back…….. Sledding, tobogganing, snowball fights, snow angels……..  Don’t get me wrong I remember how cold I could get.

I also, remember a time when I felt fat and disgusted with my younger body. When I see pictures of myself I realize it was just an illusion. I was not fat. I may have been larger than the other girls but the fat body I felt was a distorted perception.  Sometimes I find myself wishing for that body back.  However, wishing for that slimmer body just brings back self-criticism and self-judgment for my body that I have now. 

Enough of that - I am perfect, just as I am.  I am that beautiful snow angel, no matter what size she is big, small, or in-between she is exquisite. Embrace the image of the snow angel and live as the magnificent creature that you are.

Go outside today and in gratitude and joy make a snow angel.  Or at least visualize making a snow angel from the warmth of your home snuggled under a blanket.  After all it is cold outside.
