Every man is the builder of a temple, called his body, to the god he worships, after a style purely his own, nor can he get off by hammering marble instead. We are all sculptors and painters, and our material is our own flesh and blood and bones.
-Henry David Thoreau

These past several days have been a pleasant holiday break for me. I have rested a great deal; however, like many people on Thanksgiving weekend, I worked my digestive system quite hard: big meals, desserts galore, late night snacks and more desserts.

It was great to spend time with family and relax, but now, my body is not feeling too great. So, this week, I am writing a series on the body in hopes of helping those of us who have abused our bodies recently to make peace with our bodies.

Due to my holiday break, I did not have time to offer a complete post, so I am linking back to two posts I had written previously which will kick off this series:

• Change Your Body by Changing Your Perspective
• Your Body is Marvelous
