A day at the beach typically includes relaxing in a lounge chair, catching some rays and dipping in the ocean. For me, however, a swim in the sea is never on my beach day "to do" list.
Although not outwardly stated, I believe that it was that aversion to cold water that prompted my Aunt to humorously nominate me for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Initially apprehensive (and chilled to the bone just thinking about the task at hand), I accepted the "nomination" this weekend.
With some prep and the help of my "producer" husband, I not only completed the challenge, but I also stepped outside of my comfort zone. Having survived the frigid temps (while supporting an incredible cause), I now feel inspired to take on new challenges that I normally would have shied away from!
