It was lovely to be reunited with Angie and Sheila for a swim this morning. I didn’t think I’d make it: I sent a message to the group at 3 in the morning when I was aching all over and feeling terrible. Don’t expect me. But then I woke up a few hours later feeling remarkably better. My cold is still here, but the aching is gone. So off I went and I’m so glad I did.

It was a beautiful morning down at the Albany Bulb. Glassy cold (54-degree) water, pretty clouds, and lots of sunshine. We swam and floated, caught up, laughed, and enjoyed the energy of the bay. 

By the time I got out, I felt revived and rejuvenated, ready for my day.
