Dear Body

If I were to write a letter to my body there are parts I would definitely mention.

My body, any body, actually, is amazing - all those parts working together on the micro- and macro level - as a biochemist, I truly appreciate the complex inner workings of the body.

 

even if there are parts of mine that I am not particularly fond of.

Today, someone complimented me on my calves.

My calves?  Really?

Of all the parts I like and don't like - calves don't ever make the list

Never thought about them.

They definitely do a good job at whatever it is they are supposed to do.

I'm not a great runner, actually, I'm not a runner at all.

Oh, I go on the treadmill at the ungodly hour of 5am four days a week

And my calves are with me on that treadmill,

doing what they do

But they are neither pretty nor ugly.

 

They just are.

Now, if I received a compliment on my hair, or my stomach, or my hips, or my fingernails, or any other body part I actually have an opinion about, that would make sense.

But my calves???

OK Calves - Today is your lucky day - someone noticed you!

Enjoy!
