This past week has been exceptionally beautiful - especially when you consider that this mid winter. When the weather blesses you with days like this, you can't help but be reminded of your good fortune.
It was also a bit of a Celebrity Saturday with the surprise arrival of Jules and Michael.
Chatting with Jules after the swim, she remarked on having enough. When you think about it, we really do have more than enough precious, priceless gifts on our morning swim.
We have enough sun rises to keep our attitudes bright.
Enough amazing sights to continually renew our wonder in the world.
Enough kindness from friends who are willing to lend a hand.
Enough joyous hellos (and hugs) to make you feel welcome.
More than enough company to share in the adventure.
Enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
Enough opportunity to allow yourself to have fun being very silly.
Warm enough water to celebrate the joy of making it to Shelly, in winter, and still being able to able to smile. Mind you with the temperature at 18.5 that is enough to make you grin from ear to ear.
Having enough time to cruise across the bay and see beautiful marine creatures.
Enough hot water to shower alone. . .
or share with friends :-)
And enough courage to be prepared to take a challenging pose! Well done Anna.
Have a spectacular Saturday.
