“A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery even while on a detour.â€
We're smack in the middle of summer's inferno, and it feels like the only logical place to live these days is in the water. Of course, retreating indoors to the cool embrace of air conditioning is always an option, but even then, the siren call of water pulls at us. Normally, I'd be leaping into the water with my kids, splashing and laughing. Summer is my time to soak in the pool, to stay in the ocean until my fingers are wrinkled like prunes.
To be honest, I've been struggling a bit lately. Not because of the heat—though let’s be real, it’s brutal—but because of something else entirely. You see, I recently had a miscarriage, and apparently, there’s a rule about avoiding water for about three weeks after something like that. Who knew? I didn’t. And now, here I am in the middle of summer, watching my kids beg me to join them in the pool. It’s a daily reminder of what we’ve lost, and it stings more than I care to admit.
Today, I finally caved. I got into the pool, but not exactly how I imagined. I floated around on a tube with my butt practically pointing to the sky, feeling like some sort of awkward, oversized hot air balloon bobbing on the surface. The kids thought it was hilarious, though. They were thrilled to have me there, even if my positioning made me look like the sad, injured turtle at the aquarium we affectionately call “Bubble Bootie.†Still, seeing their smiles made it worth it. We’re on a detour right now, but I’m trying to enjoy the view.
Even with all the heat and sadness swirling around, life keeps moving forward. My two-year-old has become quite the little swimmer. I call him my "swimmer boy," and he’s absolutely loving every second in the water. Watching him splash and kick his legs fills me with a mix of pride and bittersweet longing. It’s hard not to think about what could have been, but I try to focus on the joy of the moment.
Summer will eventually give way to fall, and I can’t wait. The thought of pumpkins, cozy sweaters, and spiced lattes already feels like a warm hug. Just the other day, I found myself humming Christmas carols around the house, which seemed oddly out of place given the season. Pumpkins definitely come first, though. Fall is my favorite time of year, and I’m counting down the days until I can embrace its charm.
As the thermometer climbs higher, so do our pool visits. There’s something magical about watching my kids dive into the water, their laughter echoing across the yard. And yes, there’s always a steady stream of pool towels drying in the sun, just like clockwork. My little acrobat girl continues to amaze everyone with her daring jumps and flips. She’s fearless, and it’s beautiful to watch.
Life isn’t always straightforward, but I’m learning to find happiness in the detours. Sure, it’s not always easy, but sometimes the scenery along the way is just as breathtaking. And who knows? Maybe next summer will bring new adventures, new memories, and maybe even a new little one to join us in the water. Until then, I’ll keep floating, keep smiling, and keep looking forward.
