Miss Natalie did fantastic in the little play area while I swam. She didn't shed a tear!!!! Only I did :-) We had such a fantastic morning. As I handed her off to the 20-something girl watching my little daughter I gave the young girl a run down on exactly where I would be, to get me if she needed ANYTHING at all, and that I would do anything for her to make this easier. I handed off my little babydoll who did give me a look as though to say "Uh....what are you doing...", but in the short time it took me to change into my swimsuit and peek in at her she was kissing their stuffed animals and playing happily. Such a wonderful relief for my mommy heart!
And, for me, it felt so amazing to swim...hard...really hard...the endorphin's felt amazing, and my sore arms...well, truthfully, I'm really grateful for them. I left the pool shaking and my legs felt like jello...that's always a good sign of a hard swim.
My Mom's death has me somewhat struggling with anger, which everyone tells me is normal....swimming really helped release some of that anger....and made me feel like a brand new woman!
So...when life gets complicated...I swim...
Have an amazing day!
