Chlorine Dreams
January 3, 2012 3 Comments
Every year, right around this time, I am overcome with the desire to do nothing but swim in a pool in 100+ degree weather. I miss swimming, I miss having freckly knees, I miss the smell of chlorine, I miss those deep swimming breaths, and I miss the feel of the sun on my skin. I find myself daydreaming about it…
I don’t want to wish away these cold winter days. You know how daylight seems so much brighter when you walk out of a dark movie theatre? I cherish these days because they make the contrast of summertime so much sweeter.

I swim like a rock, so I don’t really dream about swimming, but I’m right with you about missing summer! I miss taking warm breaths when I run instead of stabbing cold ones! Is it cold in Poland when you go over the summer? I remember being cold in France. I think that was the first time I truly appreciated the warmth of the sun!
Hello, my niece Rachel.
I’m going through the same sunshine and swimming pool withdrawals. I love my fires in the fireplace though, and don’t think I’ve had my fill of them, yet. Had a great Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Holidays. Lots of family gatherings, somewhat staggered from time to time to make sure and see everyone. Got your text about the nativity but have a new phone and don’t know how to text back (I know, again…) – just not even phone savy (much less tech savy).
Love you, love reading your posts. yfa,r
This post is so you and I just love how you truly soak up the “simple” things. I pretty much love you Rachel Elaine Moore
