Jump in the lake | Seth’s Blog

The waters of Buck Lake are cool and clear and restorative. All summer, it’s tempting to go for a swim.

But it’s also a hassle. You need to change your clothes, find someone to guard, bring a towel and most of all, gasp at the transition when the cold water hits.

And yet… no one ever regretted going for a swim in Buck Lake. After a swim, everything is better.

There are lakes, large and small, that we avoid because of the transition.

Back up your hard drive.

Settle a feud.

Write a thank you note.

Clean your closet.

Tell someone you love them.

Go jump in the lake.
