Friday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day I went to the beach in the afternoon! We didn’t go this morning and this afternoon my friends were going for a walk and then meeting at the beach Bistro so I went down for a swim and then went to join them. The water was stunning and much warmer than earlier this week. And the shark net was out. Here is where it meets the rock on the cat walk…

The shark net makes one big safe swimming pool…

Such a beautiful afternoon. The waves were good to swim in. It’s not easy work and the other day I watched a YouTube video on getting breathing right, so I practiced that. It’s a challenge breathing out through your nose and not lifting your head too much to the side to take a breath. This is extra challenging when you are in choppy sea water. It makes you more streamlined…I think. I’m a slow swimmer but the distance does get done. I must look up open water swimming techniques that increase speed.
The chocolate milkshake I had afterwards also went down a treat.
I worked 4 hours this morning, wrapping up the week’s worth. The swim had me coming home feeling rejuvenated and ready for the weekend. We are looking forward to it.
Psalm 27:1
The Lord is my light and my salvation– whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life– of whom shall I be afraid?
The best is yet to come – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
