life can change.
I was swimming in the pool, just doing laps.
All of a sudden, I feel a strong kick in my back.
I look up.
There are two lifeguards(!) in the pool, laughing. They had pushed each other in, but in their teenage stupidity, they don’t realize that their joking around could have seriously hurt the father of 3.
I was livid and I screamed at them, using words I’m not going to put on the blog (and remember these were lifeguards).
And then I was shaken.
Shaken at how close a call it was (or could have been). And what could have happened if I’d been seriously injured.
Perspective really matters, eh?
