Personal Best


We've been dealing with a lot of hard things--so I've been swimming some, but not posting at all. Today, I just have to take a moment to say that I'm grateful for being able to get into the pool today, and for hitting a new personal best--47 laps in this work out! That's a two more laps than a mile and a quarter--and I'm pinching myself. A mile and a half in our pool is 54 laps--and for the first time, I'm thinking that I might actually get strong enough to do that--some day if I keep on swimming.

So what does that have to do with this duck in the parking lot? Not much except he's not in his element--far from it. He was just walking around, looking confused and I snapped this photo of him looking bewildered.

Note to self: When you are walking in circles, and bewildered, perhaps you've made the mistake of leaving the place where you really belong...
