The Blackboard of Life

Our bodies don't always work the way that we'd like them to, and sometimes that's tough to deal with. Especially when it seems like we're the only ones that have to put up with feeling or looking different. Though it's natural to be sad about what our bodies can't do, or what they can't look like, here's what I've learned about that.
......................................................................................................................................Yes!
Being sad or miserable or angry about what doesn't work right takes a lot of time and a lot of energy. If you're busy spending an hour feeling sorry for yourself, well that's an hour that you can't spend doing something that's MUCH more fun. Like collecting fireflies, or making giant bubbles, or singing songs.
