I DID IT!!!

I wasn't going to blog today...but I just have to tell you all... I DID IT! I bought a swim suit and I swam. For the first time in over 20 years I swam laps. Not only did I swim laps, but I lost track of time and swam for over an hour!!! I was SO scared to put my suit on, but once I had it on, and I was in the pool I was fine. I was more than fine, I was relaxed. I forgot how much I love the sound of water as it moves around me. I love the quiet of having the pool all to myself.

When I got home, I took a shower (not a fan of how chlorine makes my skin feel...but oh well!) and as I was putting on my make-up I realized how exhausted every muscle in my body was. I had to take a nap. My body hurts all over today - and it is a great feeling. To top it all off, both Chad and Dan told me they were proud of me. I don't think either of these men realize what an impact they have on my life. When they tell me they are proud, I feel like I can fly.

I truly can't believe I waited all these years to get in the water again. To finally find a place where I am relaxed enough to loose track of time...what a treasure. Yay!! I DID IT!!!
