I hate running. Let’s just get that out there. I’m all about running in short sprints like in an Ultimate game or around the yard in a game of “duck, duck, goose” but running any distance for the fun if it is not my thing. Even though I have a distaste for running I really appreciate some of the pictures we took at camp this summer.
Last summer I babysat for a family who had a pool and Hannah went in the water everyday. But that was last year and the memories have faded. This summer we have had the opportunity to go swimming in our friend’s pool at least once a week and Hannah could not be more excited. At the mere mention of the word “pool”, Hannah is packed and waiting by the door to go. Isn’t that the way we are with camp? Last year’s memories have started to fade and this year’s excitement is hard to contain! Guess what else I learned at the pool today that I can compare to camp.
This morning I did not want to get out of bed. I had done some heavy lifting yesterday and this morning my body was protesting. All I wanted was more sleep. My muscles did not want to support my weight. I felt grumpy, dirty, and worn out. Yet my daughter was calling and the day’s work needed to be done. So slowly I got up and dressed for the day. Reluctantly I put on my coat and headed outside to get something from my car. The minute I stepped out the door I was greeted by a cool, crisp, and very refreshing breath of air. Instantly I was awake, renewed, and ready to take on the day.
