Today Clara told me that Marlin is much better. She went and saw for herself. Clara said that Marlin was very sick. But now she is feeling better physically. Clara said Marlin is very depressed. She hasn't had symptoms of Lupus for about a year and 1/2 I am guessing. Maybe more. So this has to be quite a blow to be sick again.
Today was the last day of swimming for the adults. Yesterday was the end for the kids. I think I would probably be a little depressed myself today if it weren't for two things.
#1 - I am feeling so good about working with the jovenes at the Breakfast Program that it would be okay if I didn't get to share my passion for swimming with anyone anymore but #2 - the head coach asked me if I would like to work with 70 kids he has lined up to start next Saturday!!!!!!!!
I am really excited that I will still be at the pool every week. It is one of my favorite times. It won't be as special because I won't be sharing my passion for swimming people who are already special to me. But it will still be fun. I am going to teach Saturday mornings from 8-10 am and Friday afternoons from 3-5 pm.
He said the group of 70 on Saturdays is from a church. He also asked if I want little kids or big kids. I told him I am more technique oriented and I would prefer the bigger kids. He said he will give me 10 years old and above. So now I have another fun thing to look forward to!
Today I mostly played with the group. Coach Joel took pictures for us.
