A Good Thing

Oh dear, swimming did not go well yesterday. I do not have the upper body strength to pull my lower body behind me very well and I kept flipping my legs/feet to keep me going.... My ankle hurt worse when I was done than when I got there. Plus, I wasn't thinking and drank a protein shake and felt sick to my stomach half way through the swim and almost threw up when I got home...Ugh! ;P

I must say that I now have a new appreciation for swimming. I never realized the synchronicity needed to breath and move through the water or the cardio benefit you can get from it. I was huffing and puffing after two lengths of the pool and thought I was in shape from all the running I've been doing....guess I'm just not in swimming shape! I will never look at swimmers the same way...and that's a good thing!

Drew gave me an "I told you so" last night when he came over. I cooked us some dinner, we ate then watched the Tigers and a movie while snuggling on the couch... It was a nice night. He held my hand and kissed me good night when he left...::sigh:: He's been doing a lot of nice little things to let me know that he is thinking of me and appreciates me. I think things are finally getting back to "normal" between us...which is yet another good thing! :)

My daughter is over tonight and we had our therapy appt. Before we left, we sat at the kitchen table and chatted about all kinds of things - school, career, her boyfriend... It was really nice. I'm so very thankful that we have such an open relationship....it's a really, really good thing! :):):):):)

I guess I'm thankful for a lot of things today, I'm in a good mood and I feel happy about so very many things...

It's all good...just the way life should be...

And that is an extremely good thing!
