It is Well

Summer’s Arrived

Look what I found in my driveway yesterday!

So Summer

Yay, Summer!


Summer is arriving in the Southern Hemisphere, and to celebrate I had my first swim of the season. And it was glorious! I swam off all my trapped negative emotions, unhelpful thoughts, and just submerged myself underwater.

Summer sinks

Autumn rises

Leaves fall

 

A Rose

Because the world needs an orange rose!

Happy Place

This evening I went for a swim in our local pool. I was reminded again how swimming totally transports to my happy place. I don’t care about anything when I am submerged in water, the world becomes a wonderful, warm, magical place. All my troubles disappear. And this evening I was presented with the backdrop of cloudless blue skies and the green of overlooking trees, as the sun began to set. I cut my last lap short so I could grab a snap before the sun disappeared entirely. It is not the best photo, but I had to share it!
