"Me!!" The March 7, 2017 prompt for Blogging Circle of friends is "Let's talk about vestigial parts. If you could remove some parts of yourself and leave them behind, which parts would you detach? Emotions, body parts or pieces of your history?" At the risk of sounding conceited I'm going to say with all honesty that I wouldn't change a thing about me. I say that because fir decades I had no problem with exercise. I got plenty of it carrying around and using the ball bat that I beat myself up with! I didn't like living that way. I was miserable and made everybody around me just as miserable. Today I am comfortable in my own skin. I like who I am and I don't beat myself up. When I look in the mirror today I don't cringe. In fact, the picture I have set as wallpaper on my laptop has my smiling face in it. If I changed even one part of my past or one hair on my head I wouldn't be the same person. I'd be somebody who looked and acted a lot like me but I wouldn't be me. Whether it sounds conceited or not I like me today. I don't want to change me except for whatever growth God has in store for me. MarvinDSchrebe |
