Hi Gang!
Thought of this organization so much while on vacation last week--as I was in Destin, Florida, and had a few days of nice clear ocean water. Yet, I still can't manage to get the guts to go out and swim open water...in fact, if no one else is playing in the waves, I can barely get off the shoreline!!
Even seaweed gives me the chills--and then my imagination goes wild thinking that in each approaching wave waits a shark, or slimy jellyfish.
And, to make matters worse...one of the less clearer water days, a man in his 70's was swimming out in the deep, just as calm and happy as a clam. He probably has been doing it his whole life. I couldn't help but think, "If he can do it, why can't I? What's my freaking problem?!"
So, with that said, I'm wondering if any of you have experienced this choking before--and how you may have gotten over it.
I'm sure if Doctor Phil was reading this he would think that I have control issues...and perhaps that would be correct.
Your chicken, lily-liver, fellow pool swimmer,
Jerrycat ;)
