Here and feeling happy.

Had a lovely evening last night. My second swimming class started. Only three of the original six students have continued to this level, so that means we each get more individual attention. We'll be working in the deep end of the pool - 13 feet deep instead of the 4 feet we were working in for the previous class. We got to dive last night from a sitting and kneeling position.

Got home from swimming and found my son listening to a Madness Radio program. I listened to the end with him, and we discussed it some. At one point he looked surprised and announced, "I feel really good right now." It's amazing how often we focus on our negative emotions so strongly - when we're scared or sad or angry. But when we feel good, or even neutral, we tend to not notice it as much.

My son learned yesterday that he was hired for the job at the Boys and Girls Club. It's an afterschool program, so it's probably from like 3 pm to 7 pm. He accepted the position, but I think he's really scared. I hope it works out for him.

Amazing how helpful work can be, isn't it? And distracting yourself from negative thoughts. Glad you're feeling better. Hope you got some sleep.
