Some chit chat.
I must have sat for over half an hour trying to think of something to talk about. Nothing really new happened personal wise. Then I started thinking about summer. It looks like spring is finally arriving. I even had to run the AC this week. It was hot and humid. Looks like we’ll be skipping open window weather and jumping right into hot and sticky! This led to thinking about swimming.
When I first moved to the Gulf Coast almost 30 years ago, I didn’t think twice about swimming in the ocean. Well, Jaws was always on my mind. LOL I used to turn my back to the waves and pray there wasn’t some huge shark in there cruising for a meal.
It turns out the most dangerous thing I encountered was jellyfish. It seemed like every time I got in the water, I got stung. Some had tentacles so long you never saw it’s body when you felt that sting.
After going on many deep sea fishing trips and seeing some of the sharks out there, my fear of the ocean grew and I finally gave up swimming in it all together. I don’t miss it one bit. That’s because I have a pool and now I can walk out my back door and dive in with no worries.
Except for the time I fell asleep while floating in the pool. I woke and saw the shadow of a shark on the bottom and freaked out until I realized where I was and that the shadow came from a child’s float. LOL
So, what about you? Do you swim in the ocean? Are you afraid when you do? Which do you prefer, pool or the sea?
Oh, and watch out! There’s a jelly or two floating around in this post!
