Deserve the joy

From Ladies Pass It On

Dear Friend,

When this is over, can you promise me something?

No more wasted beach days, because you didn't like your

body. You deserve that sun, that sea, that freedom. You

are beautiful whether you feel it or not. We all are, we

really are.

You deserve that joy.

No more wasted weekends because you didn't want to

eat too much, drink too much or let yourself go too

much.

Time won't wait for you.

You deserve the joy.

No more saving for best or for that "rainy" day.

When the rainy days come your wonderful memories will

keep you warm.

You deserve the joy now, not later, not when you have 

"earned" it.

When this is over my friends, promise me that you will

live this life every minute of every day and that you will

never, ever tell yourself you are not enough.

You were always enough.

Now you know this life is really a blessing, it really is a 

gift and it's your gift.

You have been blessed,

you always were.
