Valentine's Day

Feb.14, 2012

One does not wander too far when the path is solid ice but the lure of blue water in the community pool is enough to have me inching carefully, keys in hand to the car. I’m into soft exercise, stretching etc. That would be because I hate sweating. Oh, yes, I’ve tried the classes where a svelte body with a grating voice yells as she’s announcing agonizing body movements to get the heart rate racing. Not only can I not keep in step, I have no connection between my ears, my brain and my feet. Yep, you guessed it. I was the only kid who did not advance in dancing class. Two left feet, no, just no connection feet to music. So that leaves me with swimming. But swimming in Canada in the dead of winter requires definite determination. It is all too easy to find excuses to avoid the effort. But not me, I fight my negative voice every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and head off to the pool. BTW, Happy Valentine’s day. I came down to the kitchen this morning to see my daughter serving her brood heart shaped pancakes. Now that’s love.
