Adding

I started swiming last December & what a differance it has made.  I have more energy, I feel good that my body is getting into better shape & I feel more motivated to do other things.

I am pushing myself, in a gentle, way by doing the swimming, expanding my horizons, being able to take more risks-speaking to others at the pool.  I am a shy person, unless I have gotten to know you & sometimes it is still challenging for me to reach out to people I do know.

Today, because I got up earlier, I went to a bigger pool & I hope I will start seeing people regularly & start a conversation.  When I lived in Vancouver, I used to go swimming at a huge pool.  There I met quite a few people & made friends with some of them.  

The more we open ourselves to new experiences, the more opportunities we have to grow.  I know this takes time & effort, but it really helps to take the focus off of ourselves.  It also opens up our mind & emotions to seek more life giving peopel, places, & things.

I had more time today, so I made Chili for dinner, chatted with 2 friends, watched a bit of TV & now, write on this post.  Writing this post has helped me to be more open with myself & I hope has brought you some hopeful things to add to your life.

You are Worth so Much!

God Bless
