“You think winter will never end, and then, when you don’t expect it, when you have almost forgotten it, warmth comes and a different light.” Wendell Berry

The last day of winter was marked with a celebratory swim with swim buddies. Great time to pause and reflect the season that have just gone by.

Celebration of the season for me included:
❄️Having a dedicated rest practice each day.
❄️Getting enough morning sun
❄️Swimming in the bay in my bathers for most of winter
❄️spotting my seahorse friend a couple of times.
❄️swimming the winter rip ( of course)
❄️receiving ACC accreditation

Thanks winter!
