the weather outside is frightful and so awfully UNdelightful...
today's lack of busyness took me to the pool for a bit of afternoon swimming and cool relaxation in the heat of the sun and crazy humidity. fairview park was perfectly crowded by families making memories and teens enjoying the last bit of summertime freedom they've got before school starts.
as i hung out in the pool, i watched some kids playing and friends interacting and i was inspired by a little red headed girl with pink goggles who was probably about 7 years old. she would jump into the water and swim the length of the lap lane with all of her strength and come up on the other side not gasping for breath, but rather joyfully glad at her accomplishment... so then she swam it again and again and again. her enthusiam was sweet and she was filled with the sort of wonder i think that we should all have for our lives... being purely excited about even the smallest of things.
