Just Keep Swimming

I'm sure we have all seen the movie "Finding Nemo."

And well if you haven't.... It's time you treated yourself. Grab a blanket, some popcorn, and watch it tonight. (I expect a full report.)

I don't know about you guys, but my favorite character of the movie has been and always will be Dory (Well aside from Crush of course. Rock on dudes).

I love the endless determination and trust Dory gives to life. This could be because she is subconsciously forgetting the trials life has sent her, but there is still so much to learn from her "press forward" character.

So often we will feel like we are drowning. It feels like we are swimming against the current or caught in a riptide. It's hard to find the strength to keep going.

But we have to "Just Keep Swimming" - Dory

In the wise words of Shane Koyczan,

"There will be bad days. Be calm. Loosen your grip, opening each palm slowly now. Let go. Be confident. Know that now is only a moment, and that if today is as bad as it gets, understand that by tomorrow, today will have ended... Be diligent. Scrape the gray sky clean. Realize every dark cloud is a smoke screen meant to blind us from the truth, and the truth is whether we see them or not - the sun and moon are still there and always there is light" (Instructions for a Bad Day).

In honor of Dory I bought a fish yesterday.

Swim on darlings.
