summer and struggle

Swimming 

I can't remember if I swam the first summer after my memory loss. Could be. I know I didn't swim the two summers after this.

Today was my first swim. I did 6 laps, my Husband 12.

Normal. 

The sun was shining. The plastic flags strung across the pool, towards the back.

I swam with my prescription googles. They kept steaming up. 

I returned home, walking slowly, my Husband in front of me.

I felt that I had real air in my lungs and that the sunshine did me good.

Life has so much struggle.  

I continue to struggle towards God, the giver of all good things.

May God have mercy on us all.

away and back again

Well, I am back.  We went on a nearly 3 week road trip.  Saw our niece L get married.  Saw friends along the way.  

It's funny, so much happened but I can't write about it more.

We see peeks into the lives of those we love but can't read the entire story.  God alone can do this.

May God have mercy on us.
