2 sleeps and I am back in the water...the inner child.

Yep that is right, just 2 sleeps and I will be plunging back into the water after getting the flu last Friday. So a week and a half of no swimming, and no gym, so I am a little super excited to be able to get back into the salty waters of Cottelsoe Beach Sunday morning for a training swim. Yes I will be wearing my wet-suit as the days have cooled down considerably.

Its times like these where I get excited like a child on a warm summers day and their parents have promised to take them to he beach swimming and playing in the sand. I still believe as adults we should have moments of feeling excited like we did as kids. I have been sick this past week with the flu, and as I haven't done any training or swimming in that time, its that feeling when you know its only days away and the weather even though its going to be a bit chilly, the water is going to be calm, and sunny, what more could someone who loves swimming so much want.

 It was funny last night at work I was walking back through the arcade that our shop is in, and instead of just walking I trotted like a horse, it was great, just goofing around and enjoying the moment of being happy and feeling better after being unwell.

we get so caught up in raising our children, working, so called living our lives in the hustle and bustle of the world, and social media that we don't seem to take enough time to play like kids, or even if we do others will frown upon it. We as adults need to find the things in our lives that give us that happy, that kid like excitement again, and remember what its like to feel the deep feeling of excitement over even the smallest things, like for me being able to get back to the gym, or getting back into the ocean and swimming, even with the mornings being so cold.

It can some times stunt your happiness...

Have an awesome weekend....I know I will....
