Thinking times...

Didn’t think I’d ever say this but I kinda miss my lifeguarding days...

Getting to work at 4:45am...in the dark...its quiet, peaceful...seems like the rest of the world is not yet up – no horns, traffic, sirens...just stillness...

Seeing the ducks floating on top of the water – the plastic snakes didn’t succeed in deterring them...steam rising...moon still in the sky...

A few hours later and the sun is up...the world awakens...the day has begun...

I miss my "thinking time"...dreaming time...hour upon hour of just imagining...sorting through would bes, could bes, should bes...

Walking round and round the pool...staring into the water...expecting to gain answers, to see something - standing on the edge...questioning...thinking everything through...

There was always something special and comforting in the "me" time - A peace that surpassed all understanding.
