“A vehicle for awakening!” Wow, what a wise and beautiful way to view our bodies.

Russ Towne's A Grateful Man 
Yes, bodies require constant attention and complain when they don’t get it. So yes, I get the concept.
I especially agree about the bodies complaining part. That is certainly true for me when I eat too much of things I shouldn’t, or simply eat too much of even healthy things.
Welcome to my humble online home.

anybody need a spare tire?
No thanks I already have an over-sized one that doesn’t fit in my trunk.

Great quote, Russ. I so agree!

Kachoo? Catch you? ;-D! Hi, Cathy. I knew what you meant to type. There is a LOT I mean to type that somehow never quite gets to readers the way I’d envisioned. I’m a lousy typist, poor speller, and even worse editor. So, trust me when I say I feel your pain. And yours was only an itty-bitty oops. By the way, I not long ago discovered the small “edit” button next to the date and time line for each comment. I’ll bet if you test it you may be able to fix a future error before anyone even seees it. At least that’s what I keep telling myself as I use that button….
Russ
PS Thank you for the comment, Cathy.
I mean Cathy, my right hand slipped…
I won’t tell anyone if you won’t! Shhhh! It’ll be our little secret…. ;-D!

#3 – when it takes prominence – definitely brings this point to the forefront…unfortunately.
Thank you for your comment. Sorry it took so long to reply to you. I’ve veen traveling and my plans for keeping in touch with my online friends took a few hits along the way.

Great post. I love and follow “tinybuddha” too , it has great wisdom. Some people do not treat their body with respect, we always take too much for granted, health. Only when we feel bad it dawns at us and we want health. Thank you!
Thank you, Ute. Too often that has been true in my life. I’ve made some improvements but it needs to remain a focus area for me for the rest of my life.
