Completely in my element. 176125 https://padlet.com/176125/a9dhfhxjfzkd/wish/144116952 2016-12-16 18:38:13 UTC https://padlet.com/176125/a9dhfhxjfzkd/wish/144116952 176125 https://padlet.com/176125/a9dhfhxjfzkd/wish/144117427 2016-12-16 18:40:05 UTC https://padlet.com/176125/a9dhfhxjfzkd/wish/144117427 176125 https://padlet.com/176125/a9dhfhxjfzkd/wish/144118026 2016-12-16 18:42:57 UTC https://padlet.com/176125/a9dhfhxjfzkd/wish/144118026 The sound of my paddle stroking the water and propelling me forward occupied my mind. I forgot about the world around me and was fully engaged in the moment. I closed my eyes and floated on the surface. 176125 https://padlet.com/176125/a9dhfhxjfzkd/wish/144118052 2016-12-16 18:43:07 UTC https://padlet.com/176125/a9dhfhxjfzkd/wish/144118052 Here's what I remember... 176125 https://padlet.com/176125/a9dhfhxjfzkd/wish/144119702 2016-12-16 18:51:11 UTC https://padlet.com/176125/a9dhfhxjfzkd/wish/144119702 176125 https://padlet.com/176125/a9dhfhxjfzkd/wish/144119722 2016-12-16 18:51:17 UTC https://padlet.com/176125/a9dhfhxjfzkd/wish/144119722 Swaying with the current.
