    Why do I love swimming so much?

    Let me count the ways--

    I love swimming in the pool--esp. the one right outside my door--because it combines all of the things that I love.  I have a wellness center membership.  And there is also a pool there, but I don't swim there and I realized that I like swimming outside in the pool better because I get to do all these things:

    • I get out and jump in, get out and jump in.  Or at least I did the other day when everybody was at work to not make fun of this old girl being youthful.
    • I swim for awhile, and then I read.  Swim for awhile, read.  LOVE it!  There is no other exercise where you can take breaks to read.  Can you imagine in a basketball game?
    • I like swimming in a pool, cause the liklihood of me drowning is not that great.  Sure, I might faint or have a heart attack and that would be bad, but the chances of that happening are slim.
    • I loooove to swim underwater with my eyes open and watch my shadow on the floor of the pool.  Love it, and I am addicted to it.  I do it over and over.  I try to make it the full length of the pool without taking a breath.
    • It is good exercise that is easy on the joints.  Except my bad shoulder was creaking underwater the other day.  Well, that shoulder hasn't hurt since that swimming, so I guess it worked, but...still kind of a frightening sound.
    • You get to eat!  Also, what other sport can you take breaks and eat!?  And it's perfectly okay, because you are burning so many calories, it's like making everything equal.
    • Quick and easy way to get toned.  I love that part of swimming.  Like weight-lifting for wimps.
    • When nobody is looking you can do all kinds of things to make it interesting:  sometimes, I push off and see if I can do 360 turn, dive for pennies, try to lay on the floor, have a tea party.

    Ahhh, I'm headed out!  Make sure to wear your sunscreen!

    P.S.  I just realized today that I have been re-memorizing Ephesians 3:20, which says--"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to the power that is at work within is."  That is just like Elohim, and that song from yesterday.  I love it when God brings everything together.  There's no such thing as a coincidence.
