Rescue Myself

With all that is going on in the world and with close family and friends I get overwhelmed. I feel like a lot of people need a lot of help. Sometimes I feel like I have given all that I got and it is time to rescue myself.

I feel like I am in a personal sabbatical. I take time for me everyday. When life seems confusing and conflicting I remember something I love and make every attempt to make that my focus for a short time.

Oddly enough I really enjoy walking on a treadmill while listening to music. I started exercising again about 7 months ago and steadily I am getting stronger. I have lost 5 lbs and my clothes fit better. More than that... I may be resurrecting an athlete I didn't know existed.

The walking supplements Hawaiian Outrigger paddling I try to do a couple days a week. Last nights paddle was amazing. I sat in seat 5 of a 6 man and I had a couple of strong, experienced male paddlers in front of me. I mimicked their body motions and found a new rhythm. The water was a bit choppy and we hit our paddles at the same time gliding though the lake. My stroke keeps getting better and better I think.

I rescue myself with water; Outrigger, lakes, ocean, pools, hot tubs etc. I started swimming when I was 2 but was put into the Hawaiian ocean just days after being born. I haven't really gotten back out.
