I’ve had a lot of wonderful days as of late and yesterday was no exception. It was easily the best Saturday I’ve had in a while; almost everything went smoothly and the day was full of cool things from beginning to end. Here are the highlights from this amazing Saturday.
I started by floating shortly after I woke up. This was the second time I’ve floated early in the morning and it’s become my new favorite way to start the day. Once I finished floating, I worked a relatively short shift and then went to the beach for a friend’s belated birthday celebration. We played Frisbee, ate a bit, and talked about our recent activities while enjoying each other’s company. Then a few of us walked over to a local brewery for some drinks (I had a glass of their finest agua), ping pong, and Jenga. This was a nice way to get out of the sun and have fun in a different setting before heading home. On the way back, I listened to some nice music and stopped for a late lunch. Relaxing, moving at my own pace, and recharging by withdrawing from other people at home was the perfect way to end the day.
Since yesterday morning’s float was my seventh float that week (more on that in my next post), I felt much calmer than usual. That float put me in a great mood that stuck with me and positively influenced all my interactions that day. Things that normally would have upset me had little to no impact on my attitude, I had a great deal of patience for every delay that came up, and it was easy to relax into the good times and enjoy everything that happened in them. It’s been a long time since I had such a deep sense of peace and I’m glad to have it back. I’m hoping that it’ll become my normal state if I continue to float regularly, focus on my breath, and avoid getting lost in my thoughts. Being so at ease with everything made it easy to have such a wonderful time yesterday and I’m looking forward to many more wonderful days in the weeks, months, and years to come.
