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.
