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.
...................................................................................................................................... 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.
