I am my own worst enemy, and lately when I've been in the pool, I have visions of me being pulled out by a kayak while everyone else is swimming by. So I started running through the alphabet on each lap - trying to think positive.

A is for alligator, a is for awesome
B is for bad ass...
C is for ?????
D is for do

What other words have yall got?

Don't be so easy on yourself 'cause this one might be all that you have left

Wow! I usually just go a lap longer if I forget where I am ... it is rather annoying sometimes. But now I can borrow the alphabet system. I'd start with:

A for Adult Attention Deficit Disorder
