Tired of those women's magazine telling us How to Get Rid of Belly Fat?

Last night I had dinner with women friends "of a certain age" and we lamented bodies that are  more saggy than they once were.

So when I reached home I pulled out the following quote from my book, GRACE ON THE GO: Quick Prayers for Determined Dieters.  

A Prayerful Rumination While Sitting in the Hot Tub at the Ladies Spa

Oh Lord, I almost didn’t step in 

When 

I saw her sitting there.        

Look.

Her belly is smooth satin,

Uncreased. Taut.

Unlike mine. 

Since my babies,

Mine has a more interesting texture.

Waffle weave, 

Herringbone,

Cablestitch.

It’s as comfortable as an old sweater

Whose pockets sag with treasures.

I need your help, oh Lord, 

to celebrate 

The richness of my belly

Whose fabric is so well worn.
