Swimming in Solitude

Yesterday, I finally got a chance to get back into the pool. It had been a couple of weeks since I swam last which is actually kind of a long time for me. Its not that I am some great swimmer or anything but I've been training for a couple of triathlons and had been swimming regularly.

Anyway, the pool at our local Y was almost completely empty. I had just finished a spin class (it was really early in the morning) and felt good just to be in the water again. To get started, I pushed myself off of the wall. Those first few moments, gliding under the water and stroking almost effortlessly, I felt as if I was flying. Its hard to describe but it felt like flying over the bottom of the pool.

I guess it was the Universe's answer for me...where has the fun in life gone. Maybe its still right in front of us but we just have to know where to look.
