I totally agree with you. Swimming is a way of meditating for me too. But who can afford their own pool? Especially a heated pool.

I think the reason is that swimming is a kind of meditation and I don't want to be broken out of my private world when I am swimming. Happy the day when I am the only one in the pool! I don't feel the same way walking or sitting in a park, just swimming.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13527807577952918445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026591328777526500.post-33303543238107568882013-10-12T16:35:43.073-05:002013-10-12T16:35:43.073-05:00Hi Jackie, Thanks for your comment.

I wonder why that is. <br /><br />JackieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026591328777526500.post-68599528297500576072013-10-12T08:05:31.850-05:002013-10-12T08:05:31.850-05:00Thank you Tammy.

I have enjoyed reading your posts for a few years now...I retired and moved to GDL about 2 1/2 years ago...and like you...I do love Mexico...I think your life and perspective will become much less stressful if you take many of these obstacles (which are in reality only obstacles in your own thinking) and turn them into positives...how fortunate you are to live in a place as beautiful as Ajijic...and fortunate indeed to enjoy the hot springs of San Juan Cosala as many times per week as you wish...so many in this world will never have that luxury... sometime we forget to count our blessings and let the world interfere...we are all in charge of our own happiness/destiny after all is said and done...take care and embrace your life with gratitude...it works...even in what might seem to be the most negative situations...saludos!Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15865518478023727947noreply@blogger.com
