Cold Joy

Cold Joy, a book and a feeling. It is often said that a picture is worth a thousand words and in honor of that I will keep this entry short and sweet. In November I had the joy of spending time with a dear friend at an author visit for Cold Joy: Experience the Wondrous Power of Cold Water by Libby Delana. After reading the book and hearing these wonderful women speak of their journeys and relationship with cold dipping it reminded me of my own journey. It reminded me of pain, joy and warmth. It also reminded me that how I approach my experience with cold water (and life) is unique and fitting to me. I am excited to put on a smile, some wool socks, and neoprene booties for my next cold dip. In honor of my renewed excitement, I'm sharing some pictures from my own cold-water journey. I must admit as my cold dipping practice has grown my need for photos has lessened. The beauty of growth in a journey:)
