I didn't touch the ground!

Ohmygoodness. What a great morning session! Today for the first time, I made it across the pool without touching the bottom. Was I out of breath at the end?! Heck yeah.. ???????????? Was it perfect?! Hell no! ???? But I made it, and I breathed WHILE swimming and didn't choke on water for not just one length of the pool, but for two! The type A in me wants to quantify everything about swimming, but I have to realize that it's ok to get frustrated, it's ok to have bad days, and it's ok to not get it right away... And because of this, I HAVE to celebrate the little things, like not touching the bottom of the pool... ???????? nothing gets your butt moving like a race coming up... Just keep swimming...
