What did you learn new today?

 

Today marked the continuation of my endeavor to reacquaint myself with swimming after a significant hiatus of three years.

It was my second day back in the water as part of my personal "learning to swim" project.

Swimming has long been a personal aspiration of mine, not only as a daily workout routine but also as a cherished long-term goal.

However, the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic disrupted many aspects of daily life, forcing me to pause this cherished activity for health and safety reasons.

 

Returning to the water after this extended break felt like a reunion with an old friend.

Though initially apprehensive, I found myself gradually adjusting to the aquatic environment once more.

The gentle embrace of the water served as a reminder of the joy and freedom that swimming offers.

Each stroke became a step towards rekindling my confidence and rebuilding my swimming prowess.

Mastering the four basic swimming styles—freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly—has become a significant focal point of my aspirations for the new year.

With each stroke perfected, I'm not just aiming for fitness but also striving to accomplish a personal milestone and overcome any lingering uncertainties from the hiatus.

 

Apart from my aquatic endeavors, I also dedicated time to nurturing my beloved plants.

Observing changes in their growth has become an inherent source of joy and contentment for me.

The subtle transformations within my plant family are a testament to the attentive care and love I provide.

Witnessing new leaves unfurl or buds blossoming brings an indescribable sense of fulfillment, reinforcing the idea that nurturing life, even in its simplest form, is deeply rewarding.

 

Interacting with my plants provides a unique form of solace and fulfillment.

It goes beyond the act of cultivation; it's a harmonious relationship that highlights the cyclical nature of life and growth.

Each change and development in their greenery symbolizes resilience and adaptation, a parallel to the personal growth I strive for in my life.

 

Today's experiences have emphasized the significance of perseverance and determination in my pursuits.

Be it the rekindling of my swimming skills or the nurturing of my plant companions, each activity offers valuable lessons in patience, resilience, and the simple joys derived from self-improvement and nurturing life.
