Last week the sky was blue and the water was sparkling and calm - and cold. I did my usual leisurely swim for an hour or so watching the pelicans, enjoying the long view and feeling meditative and refreshed.
Today with weather coming in I decided to head for the lake in the morning. It was already tempestuous with white caps and foam on the shore. The waves crashed and the water was cold. (Yes, I know it's a like but there's wind!)
I waded in and tried to swim. No hope of that. The waves were relentless and battering. I need the exercise so I did my usual hour - waving my arms around in their usual stroke while hopping and jumping over the waves as they rolled in. Not quiet, not meditative. I went home battered and tired.
Sometimes life's like that...
