Workman-like

A little fatigue has been creeping its way into my muscles in the last few days and had it not been for my self imposed challenge to swim 10,000m in one month, I may have given it a miss today.

The clouds didn't look that dark and the waves didn't appear too challenging but the current was strong and overall it was one of those swims that was a bit of a struggle.

A very good friend of mine, who had a big influence on my meditation practice many years ago, used to talk about his (meditation) practice being ‘workmanlike’. That was exactly the phrase that popped into my head when I was beginning the first leg of another 500m. However, I kept going and took a few more strokes closer to being able to hit that 10km milestone.
