I am back to swimming. I did a mile yesterday and another this morning. I have time while I am swimming to think about things. I usually review special events in my life, especially when I am on laps that number the years I remember, focusing on the events of those years. I also work on my stories. I can imagine character traits that I want to use and often draw on the memories I have of people I have known. All of this means that swimming provides physical exercise and mental exercise as well. This is my favorite time of year!
