Last Sunday, at my niece's birthday party, I got in a swimming pool. It was wonderful.
The water was cool and the buoyancy made all movement painless. It caused me to think over my recent experience in swimming pools. I realized that I had no such recent experiences. I could only think of four times in the last decade that I have been in a swimming pool. Last week I looked in my back yard. Even by my standards it was a mess. It caused me to realize that since I stopped storing hay in the shelter in the back yard I no longer put a foot in the back yard.
There was a time when I read up to three books each week and played some instrument for a half hour or forty five minutes daily. Now I run through the songs a few times before we go on stage and often do not touch an instrument again for weeks.
When it is all over I hope that it will have been worth it. Jury is still out.

The more things we spend time doing the less time we have to do the things we meant to do.
