18 months

Feb 102010

Of course on the 18 month mark, I’m watching tv and see videos and pictures from the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The commercials are trying to get everyone excited about the 2010 Olympics. The last thing HeeJ and I did was watch the opening ceremonies together. I remember a friend coming over that day who “got it” and as the Olympics were on to try to distract us, he told me I would never be able to watch the Olympics the same again. I would always think of HeeJ and that day when I saw pictures, reminders.

My friend was right.

Swimming and Praying

I have started swimming laps again. I forgot how much I loved it. I only really became interested in swimming after HeeJun and I were married. I needed my lifeguard certification to get a job.

The book I am reading now, Sacred Echoes, focuses on praying for others. I started swimming each lap in cadence to my prayers. I pray for one person all the way down the pool.

After I finish one lap, I remember some one else I want to lift up in prayer. Down the pool I go for another prayer lap. Praying has been good for my health! Maybe it will help me lose this 20 pounds of grief weight!
