happiness can be . .

I don't like doing laps after the sun goes down. I have never gone swimming from 4:30 to 9 (not the whole time, duh!). In bleak mid-winter, I would not like doing laps after nightfall.

Yowsa. I went last Wednesday because my writer's group keeps me from swimming near noon. So I just wasn't swimming on Wednesdays, walking home from N. Berkeley to compensate. 

I like the walk and will continue it.

But, ta da!, the sun shines brightly at 4:30 p.m. and the pool is nearly empty, which I like.  I will probably swim at 4:30 more than just my writer's group day.   One group. I belong to another.

Yippee skippee. 4:30 swims in an almost empty pool, the sun still shining is happiness. Joy.
