to the deep

i keep trying to convince my child that swimming in the deep is no different than swimming in the shallows. though, given very deep deeps, when everything implodes, perhaps it's not true after all, but we're talking an eleven foot pool.

so tonight she abandoned herself to the deep, and i was grateful.

i buoyed by noodles because i'm too tired to swim for forty-five minutes straight without aid, but i make her swim thirty minutes, and she ended up swimming an additional fifteen of her own free will. it was lovely.

she enjoyed diving down deep and swimming about.

i'm just glad to finally be home, as much as i love the water, i'm tired. but i said that all ready.

i have to ask the kid at work who is in graduate school for phys ed if i'm still getting a decent workout aided as i am by floatation devices. i couldn't do it any other way.

anyway, i'm tired. enough said. breakfast early, then the farm. bellydancing then i have to go in to work to do the order for this week and put away stock.

peace.
