It's my time, it's my turn, it's my season.

This is the anthem that awakens me every Tuesday and Thursday morning at the start of my gospel aerobics class. It is one of the few things that makes it possible to bear another day of kicking and swirling and crunching.

There are certain things that make life worth living, things that I can count on to bring happiness. The most recent addition has come in the form of poultry. A lovely little duck couple has claimed the Tropicana pool as their own private resort in which to swim and sun bathe. I hope their holiday never ends. Welcome duck friends!
