No one would mistake me for a fish. From the start, I was afraid of water. Not just being in it, but even getting it in my face. Drove my mom crazy at bathtime as a wee child. Scottie Fishburn loved it. My first best friend & playmate, he was only a month younger but way smaller, and the only way he could every win a fight was if there was water around that he could splash in my face.
So how is it that water brings me such feelings of peace & well being? Whether it's Lake Michigan or the Jersey Shore (which I don't even like at all), being at the beach calms my head & refreshes my soul.
Add to the paradox - I get seasick. Left to my own devices, almost any trip on a boat will make me feel really lousy, if not lost my lunch. Kudos to the folks who invented dramamine & scopalomine. A little patch behind the ear & we were able to thoroughly enjoy an afternoon of sailing on Lake Michigan with our friends Sandra & Buzz Duncan. I love summer in St. Joe!
