Yippie!
So, we have a pool at my house now. I really think that sometimes I should have been a mermaid. Or, at least a fish. Maybe a whale, or a dolphin. I love to swim. The first day we had the pool I was in it over an hour with my little cousin, and that night I was in at midnight and stayed in until about 1. Crystal and I stayed in last night for over 2 hours. I miss swim team. But, I can't get into it up here. All of the places I have found, I didn't like. But hey, I guess if I wanted it badly enough I would do it, eh?
I have thought about starting martial arts again. But, I dunno.
I realized something the other day (and its been mentioned once in this blog already). I have heard so many people (myself included) saying how badly they want something. But for whatever reason, they don't do anything about it. If you wanted it that badly, surely you would try to get it. It happens all the time. At work - I really wish I could get a promotion. So, work harder and have patience. In relationships - I really want to be with him/her, but there is this thing in my way - Well, if you are going to let someone or something stop you that easy, you must really not want to be with that person. In friendships, too. In doing what God called us to do. Winning souls. Sure, we would all love to win at least one person a day - but we come up with different excuses. Well, if you are going to smuggle your way out of it with pathetic excuses, you must not want it bad enough. (I am talking to myself here, as well). I have alot of dreams - some people don't approve of some of them, but if I want it bad enough, don't you think I would go for it? If it really still is my dream to be in the swim in the Olympics, don't you think I would start on any swim team I could find? (I am thinking about doing that, though). If it was really my dream to compete in Hunter/Jumping with my horse, don't you think I would have stayed with it, and enjoyed it more? If it is my dream to get married, I will sit an think from time to time about what my wedding would be like, where it would be (I know that, already), the people that will be there, ETC... And why do we let things ruin our dreams? Things that shouldn't matter. Like me, when I moved from Florida (where I was training for the Olympics) and came up here, I thought that was the end of it for me. But come on! Look around! See all these mountains around me? Climb up them - leg strength and endurance. I know of many pools around that I can go to to practice my strokes, one is now in my backyard. There are ways to accomplish what you want to do, if you are wanting it for the right reasons. I don't want to be in the Olmpics so that I can tell everyone I won a gold medal. I just want to be apart of them. Simple as that. I always just wanted to be apart of it, swimming.
Wow, this has turned into a very long rant. I am done now.
