A Perfect Distraction

I needed to find a way to get out of my head today. It was a really tough week for me. I started on a downward spiral last Sunday, and by the end of the week, I was left feeling an overwhelming sense of despair (see blog from yesterday).


Even though we are having spring-like temperatures in February (which I’m not complaining about), our #summerofrich hikes have needed to be put on hold for the time being as Rich is dealing with a hernia that will not be removed until April. 


So, instead, I decided to go swimming at my mother in law’s condo pool today.


Like hiking, swimming brings me joy. 


The pool was the perfect temperature and a perfect distraction.  


For one full hour, I found myself lost in the moment and feeling good.
