like Billy says

I had coffee with a friend the other week. She mentioned she wanted to try out Weight Watchers. I said, "good for you!" I nodded in consent. This has been bothering me since. What was I consenting to?

The real answer for her should have been something about it being great that she was pursuing something she was excited about. And then a bunch of editorials on how she is already lovely, radiant, and good enough. Good hair, good smile, athletic body. Good as created.

I was in the shower last night with the song Just the Way You Are running through my mind. I need to offer that out more to people.

your rich wells of thoughtfulness for those you care about speaks volumes even spoken words may be few. of course, editing always comes later. ;) but walking away i often find myself impacted by this gift you have been given.
