it is time

There are those with the ocean in their blood.
Through the winter we anxiously await the day when we can plunge back in.
Every Fall we try to squeeze in every last swim.
Starting mid-September panic sets in. Panic that this swim could be the last of the season.

This year I made it to almost the end of October. This time there was no panic. There was only gratitude and acceptance. I felt the change in the air and water since last week. I spent beautiful day reading on the beach and then headed into the water just before I headed home. And I felt, okay, this is it. I can live with that. 

Thank you Atlantic Ocean. You were amazing. 
See you in June.
