Thank you for this specific newsletter. Truly inspiring. I live in Kalamata, Greece, really close to the beach and I find myself not going for a late night swim because I think that I will have to shower and carry the wet clothes etc… That it will be inconvenient. And despite having a beach bag in my trunk all year long I swim seldomly… I will change that

Mine goes: "I was fully clothed. So I stripped down to my boxers and jumped in anyway." Mediterranean sea, Barcelona, midnight or so. It was a combination of spontaneity and team building with several of my co-workers at the time. 😁

Now that is my kind of team-building! (Assuming I'm with people who work out like you do....:)

God bless that beautiful doggie 😀.

I’m sure she is looking down on you whispering she was lucky to have an owner like you. ❤️

The gods envy us. They envy us because we’re mortal, because any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we are doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again…
