paddling


Every Wednesday, from 3:15 to 5:15, i go paddling on Sechelt Inlet. I am part of a dragon boat team. I, along with about 15 other women, put on old clothes and hats and sunscreen our noses and take our paddles and glide.
This is my paddle. I hang it outside the door to remind me how amazing it is that i go paddling. On the ocean. With other women.
I have not felt so strong, so fit and so able in my body for two years; since i went to yoga twice a week for that winter. I love how this feels. I don't think I've lost weight, I don't think i look any different. But it feels different, inside.

I think I'm braver.
