Hello fellow learner, Greetings from Grosse Pointe, Michigan. I went swimming outside for the first time since the last decade! It was so lovely. I set a baseline goal of swimming 100 laps and I actually surprised myself and accomplished it. It reminded me how much I’ve missed swimming, the nostalgic smell of chlorine, and how great it can feel to achieve a goal. I got to focus on my breath and counting the laps. Typically, when I bike or jog, I have music or a podcast playing, but for swimming, I was just in my head. By being away from technology for the 90 minutes, I found it quite meditative.
