Coast Guard searching for missing swimmer

By Elizabeth Ratto, Globe Correspondent

The Coast Guard says it plans to search through the night for a man
who went missing in the water near Gallops Island around 6 p.m. tonight.

The man was part of a group of four who went swimming from
their sailboat and drifted away from it. One person made it back to the
boat, one swam to the nearby rocks, and another was recovered by the
marine assistance service Sea Tow.

The Coast Guard, as well as crews from the State Police,
Environmental Police and Boston Fire Department initiated their search
at 6:20 p.m., and a "first light" helicopter search was scheduled for
this morning.

Titleless August 3, 2007

Yeah, can’t come up with a good title. Oh well.

I’ve been allowing myself to be sick. For the past 4-8 weeks, I have been fighting it. Saying "Why am I so exhausted?" And blaming myself for a series of things. No more. Now I am allowing myself to just be ill. And I feel it. I am going to bed about 1 hour before my normal bedtime. I’ve been resting in the afternoons. Tired, but letting things be.

It’s hard for me to do this. I am the type of person who can’t sit still. I must be moving, doing, something! And I find myself having trouble sitting back and resting.

I’ve been reorganizing our web pages for work. They needed it and it is a mindless task. I think that’s the best thing for now.

I have many things I wish to write about, but I am too tired to do so…

So, here’s to just being sick. And letting it be. So I can get better again….
