Silver Lining: Swimming and Breathing

It may seem corny but I always try to see the silver lining even in the darkest circumstances.

I am a severe asthmatic but taking up lap swimming has allowed me to develop strong lungs and breathe well. I am also a cyclothymic. My moodcycle is seasonal and is usually three months long. Swimming allows me to find meditative mood balance and breathe-well doing it. My swimming lungs now strong also allow me to play the bari sax in my marching milkman band. Fitness helps me have a balanced appetite. I love to bake multigrain sourdough breads and make kale soup. Most of all I love to teach interested folks how they can do the same.
