Yesterday I woke up from another deep creamy chocolaty delicious sleep. Looked in the mirror and again was bowled over by the beauty I saw there -- but then I was filled with tremendous tenderness and compassion, because I realized that I had been sending my physical self negative messages all of my adult life and despite that, it continued to loyally hold me up with strength, suppleness, beauty and joy. I felt like I had had a trusty sidekick that I'd been abusing for years. I was brimming with gratitude all day yesterday (now, too!) to my body for allowing me to live a life I love. I committed to sending only positive energy to myself from here on in and to be as good a friend to my body as it has been to me.

I wasn't imagining it about my eyes the other day -- the dark puffiness I usually have all day is gone, like your hat if you drop it in a volcano. That just amazes me.

I had a ton of energy all day, and felt compelled to take a 2-mile walk to buy my spirulina after lunch. I walked through the Beverly Hills village -- you know, Rodeo Drive, etc.? -- and felt tall and tan and young and lovely. The vitamin guy gave me a discount and asked for my phone number.

Later in the afternoon I noticed that although my body had tons of energy, my brain felt sleepy and foggy. What a weird sensation that was. Aaron had recommended a LOT more spirulina that I had originally thought, so I gulped down my pills but still felt pretty floopy all evening long. This morning, I'm looking out the window and it's as if I got new glasses -- my mind and vision are crystal clear. I see some runners on the beach and I can "feel" their vitality and propulsion. I am looking forward to going out there working my body and breathing the air, and the urge feels to me like the hunger or holding a nicely-wrapped birthday gift!

One interesting thing: my appetite is much lower than normal; I had to sort of lure myself into eating and then it is very easy to choose healthy food and turn up my nose at sweets. (I'm doing the weight-loss module.)

And that's my weekend PATHS update. I hope you have lots of joy in your day!

Love,
Angela
