You are so right about this Dawn. I go to the pool every day--well except now, the fitness center closes on sunday for the summer and I have to make sure that I get there in time for the really shortened Saturday hours--I feel so much better after I have been to the pool and exercised and swam some laps. It is the most comforting activity ever!!
