California has long been associated as a place with all of the natural conditions in place to be well. Enviable weather, miles of coastline, open spaces, and in San Diego in particular, sunny days nearly year-round.

Random strands of seaweed tangoed with my board leash, a sea turtle peeked its head up at my 2 o’clock from the shimmering sea. It was a sublime Thursday afternoon.
