Today I swam out to the buoy again. It's become habit for me. I no longer hesitate to do it. I just get to the beach, run in the water, and start swimming.
My day started slowly. I was not supposed to work, but I spent sometime learning more about Quill because I really enjoy understanding the architecture of an application. Afterwards, I started to work, and felt drained. I stopped at lunch and told the people who had asked for my help that I was done.
I started my day, but not really. I spent the next half hour on the couch because I didn't want to move. Thinking about hat I was doing: wasting my free day, I struggled to get myself to start. I thought if I could just get in the shower and put an outfit on that was more suited to adventure than a sweatshirt and pjs I would be able to move. I started slow, but I got into the shower. It was freezing, and I laughed because I knew had won just by starting.
I left to get a sandwich from Ike's because I had a free one from my birthday. I took it to the beach where the gates were closed. There were signs everywhere: “The Beach is Closed to sitting, standing and sunbathing”. I thought about laying out with an umbrella because it did not seem to cover that case. I parked in the overflow lot that was open and started toward the beach. I set my stuff down and put the towel down as if I were going to lay down. Then, like this started, I ran into the water and swam to the buoy.

The time to start your day, your life, you dreams is always in the present, today, right now.
