Today I had a good time
in the swimming pool. As my daughter had cold, I did not bring her for practice
so it was just me, and myself swimming away.
I loved the very touch of water on my body, and I am thrilled to float
and swim from one end to another end of the pool. There is no stress, no pressure, no
comparison, no competition with anybody, but just being me in the pool.
There is a feeling of
joy, a feeling of happiness that comes when you bend and put your head in the deep
waters and gently rise, kicking your legs, your body moves forward, you are
just led by the waters and every part of your being is activated and I forget
everything in those 45 minutes to 1 hour, savoring those special moments with myself.
I do not think about my
family, neither my work, nor any other commitments – I simply experience the
coolness of the waters. Being summer the
swimming pool is full and I am surrounded with lots of women and children,
there is so much noise, crying of small children learning to swim.
The voice of
the coach shouting and whistling, forbidding learners to keep to only 4 feet
water, and there I hear giggles and laughter of young girls having fun in the
pool.
It does not affect me
at all, there is only silence within my heart, the joy of moving around in the
pool brings in peace and appreciation for life, the very privilege to have been
alive today and every day, for the privilege that I can see, hear, smell, feel,
smile and laugh. I am happy and I feel
privileged.
I swim backwards I look
at the vast blue sky extended so wide that I cannot trace
its beginning and its end, the tall
green beautiful trees surrounding the pool adds to the freshness of the breeze,
making the pool cool , I am filled with awe and admiration and I feel
part of everything there. I feel
appreciation for myself – for the very privilege to have been alive every day!
We can all be happy and
experience the sense of privilege, when we become aware of ourselves, and all
that we have in our life’s
Be Blessed & Be Happy!
