One of my sparkfriends wrote this recently and it speaks to me more than the quote I used to have posted here at the end - so here it is:

"Yep, I am a greedy, greedy girl
I want it all
See, I don’t just want a trim body or thin thighs
I want a life so breathtakingly rich I can’t believe it is mine
I want to go to bed every night thinking
Damn…what a fine day to be me
I want to laugh outrageously loud
Even if it is just at myself
I want highs and lows
To dance around my inner balance
I want to revel in pride
Because I know I gave my best effort
I want to thrive as I grow through this life
And move through time with intention and purpose
I want to soak up beauty in all its forms
And reflect its radiance back to those around me
I want to face challenges confident in my inner strength
Knowing all I need to succeed lives inside of me
I want to be so giddy to wake up in the morning
That my own grateful smile surprises me in the mirror
I want those I care for to feel as cherished as they are
And to know they deserve to be this greedy too"
