well had my third swim lesson tonite..delàyed bc I was/had been sick....hopefully I learn how to swim!

I'm walking across every bridge in NYC. my goal since summer... Because for me..I have to get outside to feel better. Today was Kosciusko Bridge...nice pictures. Thank you for recommending .....This past Sunday was George Washington...(a bit weird) but nice pictures. ..

I never learned how to swim. At 5 years old we're at the Catskills. I looked over for my sister and she was gone. We were at the 8 foot end of the pool, so I looked down and there she was at the bottom of the pool. I thought she was dead. i said help and a stranger pulled her out. Then on I was afraid of pools(as was she). I always regretted not learning how to swim. There's a public pool close by and after debating for months...I went in and signed up for beginner, beginner adult swim lessons. Starts tonight..I'm worried...however I've done something *scary* for me..I'm suprised I did.

After a few sad days.....I breathed (sp) and of course realized better outside than inside. So over last 4 days.....Went to a book reading..artistic people I admire.... Re did my * walk every walkable bridge* So did the Williamsburg..done that before...but first time did the George Washington Bridge this past Sunday...... I actually took my second adult swim lesson last week....being outside is so much better!!!!

Well after getting myself out of a wee bit of sadness.....I did two days of 5 mile walks the last 2 days.well three counting today. .it's always nice how once you are up and out (and it can be a struggle) how much better you feel. totally continue my daily goal of say something kind/compliment someone every day. it makes me so happy to make them happy. I told someone this morning how beautiful their garden is...and he was so happy he gave me flowers.
