Sun and Swimming Today: Joys of Skinny Dipping
The heat has been unreal. I have been a bit of a mole lately living in the basement- which is actually quite chilly…. I came up for some sunlight and fresh air and went outside and was hit hard by WALL of heat. I had no idea it was that hot and muggy out.
Stripped down -yes I STRIPPED right down and jumped in pool. How liberating it felt to swim naked in the cool water!
Reminded me of days growing up at my grandmothers house when she and my sister would swim naked in the moon light giggling. I must have been about 10 years old. I teared up remembering my grandmother and how much I loved her and wished all the joy I felt with her for my kids.
The smell of wet concrete and warm gentle breeze took me right back to my childhood today.
I do wonder if when I am raising my kids if in some way I am trying to grab a little snatch of my own childhood back.
I suppose we all do. One of the unexpected joys of having kids is they put us back in touch with our own memories of growing up.
