With this ring ...

... you get callouses when you row.

I've been taking my wedding band (my only piece of jewelry, because beauty like mine needs no adornment) off when I row this year. I think it helps my 'blade work' on my starboard oar. It definitely has cut down on the blisters.

I forgot to put it back on this morning (not a usual rowing day for me) and when I realized it a few hours later, it struck me how naked I felt without it on.

While feeling a little off, it was actually a good feeling - I felt a sense of family and knowing that there is more to my life than myself.



Awesome.
