Would that I could bottle it: Funk-be-gone
I just went for one of the Best Walks Ever. Just in my neighborhood (on trash day, no less), but it was a beautiful sunny breezy day and I felt good.
I’m getting excited about going swimming in the mornings in the outdoor pool, too, soon. That’s just something transformative about being in the water when the sun is just coming up.
The funk that plagued me for weeks (well, couple months) is Officially Gone. I think with age (I’ve become very sage since turning 40
) comes the realization that everything passes. No need for panic.
I have a crazy few weeks coming up, but then I’ll let you guys in on what’s been going on with me in more detail.
For now, I have a chapter draft due, a conference to prepare for, my day (ha! as if just day) job, and a number of personal and family projects. Eek! Busy, busy.
So, how the heck are you guys doing?!



Delighted to read that you’re feeling better! I’m a daily swimmer (keeps problems stemming from 2 broken vertebral disks at bay), and I couldn’t agree more about the peaceful joy of swimming outside. I now live in a place where I can do that year-round, and I’m grateful for it every day!
Good luck with all your projects–
I love ANYTHING outdoors as the sun comes up……it is the most gorgeous, serene time of day.
