today i am

THANKFUL

for

(dont laugh)

Swimming.

I feel lucky to be the swimmer in the meek family.

back when i was 5 my mother put me in swimming lessons and the coach mentioned to my mom that i was really good and that i could be on the swim team

all i had to do was swim the length of the pool.

that was something that i struggled with in my lesson

until

my mom goes if you want to be on the swim team, you have to swim from here to there without stopping.

so i did.

and i didnt stop.

I was on the Salt Lake Swimming and Tennis Club for 10 years.

and

i was one of the best in my age group for the Butterfly stroke.

now i just swim for fun.

and I LOVE IT!

I regret not sticking with it during high school

(that is another story)

but i feel lucky to be able to just go anywhere

and

whip out all four strokes and still rock at it.

also can i tell you how much i get the chills from watching this man swim butterfly.

i love him.
