Greetings, book and treat people! I applied for a job I really wanted a few weeks ago and yesterday I found out I didn’t get it. This happens all the time. It’s a small and common occurrence. It was still a disappointment. I had a trash day. I didn’t get much done and slept terribly. This morning I woke up late to a grey and cloudy morning. I drove to the lake, and on the drive, it started raining. I thought I might be the only one at the lake, but when I got there, I saw the group of older women who swim every morning already far out, their heads bobbing in the water. I dove in. The water was silky; the rain gentle but steady; the hills around the lake shrouded in mist. I drove home and took a hot shower. I am eating cake for breakfast.
So sorry you didn't get the job you wanted — I know it happens to all of us, and yet it's still disheartening. Sending love your way!
I also LOVE that you've been getting in the water. I am landlocked and without access to a pool (literally one of the reasons I'm moving) and I cannot wait to make swimming a more regular part of my life. Like you, I believe there's something magical about it, and it can't fix everything, but it sure does help.

Thanks, Cassie! And yes, swimming is absolutely the best. I am so excited for you to be able to do so more regularly!
I’ve been trying to swim in a body of water this year too, and it’s been so fulfilling I wish I started doing it earlier. ❣️
It’s so magical! Water doesn’t solve everything but it makes a whole lot better.
Too true 😆🙌
