What are you grateful to your body for?

Function, not form. What did it do? — asked by Ren

AmmiKarachi, PK

Strangers are being different with me and I hate it, and that is my honest answer.

Pam Take the win. Quietly if you like, but take it.

MarnieAyr, UK

Comfortable. Not a word I had used about myself in a long time.

8

Ozzy That is a lovely thing to have noticed.

MaudGhent, BE

It is recovering from a virus and doing so slowly, and I am trying to let it.

3

CallaWellington, NZ

It made it through a fortnight I did not think either of us would manage.

5

GittaBonn, DE

I noticed I had gone a whole day without checking anything in a reflective surface.

6

ColNewquay, UK

It is doing something clever with insulin that I do not understand and I am grateful to it.

7

SaffHastings, UK

It did a full day of standing and only complained at the end, which is fair.

HettieLancaster, UK

Comfortable in a chair for a long meeting, which I would not have managed a year ago.

4

MoBradford, UK

Sore, tired, mine.

6

GigiNaples, IT

Somebody said I looked well and I could not work out where to put it, so I said thank you and changed the subject.

4

MaritGroningen, NL

It held a child for an hour without giving out.

3

ClémenceNantes, FR

Hard question. I liked my body before as well, actually, and I am tired of the assumption that I did not.

Blue Would you bring that to circle on Sunday? You would not have to say much.

DelphiThessaloniki, GR

It held a child for an hour without giving out.
