it's not fiber.....

after spinning my way through the tour, i became a real slacker! i'd spin a bit here and there, but didn't have that same drive to do it every day. plus life stuff seemed to pop up. my focus shifted to  participating in a fund raiser for ontario-yates hospice. i have been a strong advocate for hospice services and last year our family used their support for my mom. hospice is an amazing organization that works with families at the most challenging times in our life.  the care they gave us was extrodinary, so when i heard about this opportunity i knew i had to help. so, following a beautiful sunrise, my daughter and I, along with 22 other swimmers, were boated across Canandaigua Lake to begin the Ontario-Yates Hospice Swim.

The current was incredibly strong, with white caps in the center, but we swam all the way! It took us over an hour and a half to reach the shore where we were greeted with cheers from the crowd of family, friends, and our fellow swimmers. two fiber friends donated their time to paddle along with us.....

This was one of the most physically difficult things that i've done. as i swam along, i kept thinking about different projects to start or fiber to spin or where all that fiber was. it was a perfect distraction to what i was really doing and now if i can just remember all those plans, i'll be set.
