Re-loving my body
Cancer has changed my body. Well, not the cancer itself, but the surgeries.
The other day my husband and I talked about going to a wellness resort with sauna and everything.
I immediately got scared. Do I want people to see my wonky belly?
Today I took a bath, and while I was towelling off, I looked down at my belly.
I saw the big scar, and the way it divides my belly in two halves. Something inside me said, “This is the mark of a warrior. Why would you fear that? You should love it!”
I smiled down at myself, and looked at the scar with love.
Yes, it shows that I’m a survivor.
Why would I be afraid to show that I am?
So, very soon, my husband and I will pack bags and head out to a spa, and I will love every minute of it.
