Well, hello there. How many of you knew, when I said I was taking a month off from this newsletter, that it would actually be two? I didn’t, but I needed the break, so no apologies here. Most of my January was total crap, except for one small bright spot: I am finally learning how to swim.
I can’t swim either. Tried to learn a few times but the most I can manage is a side-stroke where I don’t have to coordinate my breathing. Since we live 2 miles from the ocean now, I took my daughter to get professional swimming lessons when she was 3 and it worked! She even tried synchronized swimming for a year and water polo for a year where they have to tread water forever. Maybe someday I will try again. Good luck!
I really love this piece. It's beautiful.
