This evening

I tried therapy and then I went to the pool

This is a spontaneous, bonus, journal entry-style post for paid subscribers. I hope you like it.

I thought that I’d finish the session feeling emotionally drained. I’d made sure I wouldn’t be teaching soon after. It was online, and I thought my partner would come in afterwards and find me teary-eyed, deep in my thoughts. Maybe that will be the case at some point.

But after this first one, I felt energised. Really good. Relieved. So with my scheduled time off, I went to the pool. I don’t take it for granted that I’m in Thailand and can just… nip to the pool. Step into outdoor heat and out of my clothes and plunge into ripples. Inviting, blissful blue.
