A Moment of Piece

I needed today. I needed a day where I let go of the world, I let go of my fears, and I just live. I went swimming in my backyard and I went underwater. This sounds incredibly stupid, I know, but I don't go underwater. Ever. I think in the past 3 years, I might have gone underwater 3 times. I don't like how nasty my hair looks and feels when I get out of the pool. So I just float.
Today was different. I literally "took the plunge". Now, I can't say that this will be a regular habit for me, but on this one day, it worked.
Even more, I spent time with someone I have really missed. We laughed, cooked, swam, and talked. If there is one person to whom you have something you want to tell, I say do it. There is nothing more freeing than a deep conversation about the things you are usually too scared to say.
After a day of fun, I almost feel ready to face work once again.
