Dear surfing gods,

I have been so uninspired lately. Yes, you have sent the swell, but forgot one crucial element: shape. sandbars. a point. anything? And as I sit on the beach watching said swell, I can't help but think "What fun is having a house (oh, ok, a small shack) exploding around you?" My point: I haven't been amped.

Well that's all changed today. I went surfing today and as I paddled through 2'-3' surf, the wobble in my feeble arms and gasping from my haggard lungs has inspired me. Don't get me wrong, it was a fun session. It was sunny & the water was clear and a pale green color; the waves weren't big, but had some power behind them; and the tide was a little high, so there were some shoulders. There were rights even! (thankyouthankyouthankyou)

But back to my inspiration. The plan for now is to: I will take advantage of the fact that I live a block from the beach! (it might not be that much longer) I will work out! (yes that includes strength stuff too) I will stop eating cheesy poofs for dinner! (see here)

Just thought you should know. Incase that's you that's ensuring a 30 minute lull just as I announce that I'm freezing and going to head in.

Sincerely,
JK
