Random quote of the day:

“Swimming has taught me a lot about the true chemistry of feeling good. It’s very easy to believe that levels of personal happiness are entirely reliant on all the exterior factors impinging on your life at that time—financial fortunes, friendships, relationships, ups and downs with work—but being in the water, particularly being in a large natural body of water, brings you away from that line of thinking, makes you realize how many of these influencing factors are beyond your control, and ultimately unsolvable, and that at any time your happiness can be primarily down to your immediate environment at that exact moment, if you let go and allow it.
