The fifteenth day of the lunar month

Hot 1751 views. 2021-2-27 10:21

Today is the Lantern Festival falls on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, according to Chinese traditional, the people would like eating sweet dumpling with the family, as its names dumpling circle around, it means peoples getting together for happiness.

For my family, Tiger is in Xi Yuan hospital for health check till the next week, somewhere it is in the west of Beijing far from me. My daughter is always busy with her works, she almost forgets who I am. In fact I am complain she did not see me for long times, even we live in the same community. Everyone has their own life.

Today is Friday blocked 2&7, unfortunately my car is banned, so as plan I gave up to my mom home for stuffs, as usual I would like going for swimming in the morning, some of swimmers are most of them from this community, they would like to come in the afternoon in winter I supposed, if too many people in the pool, you can image like dumplings in one pot, how could you stretch your body. And also I am afraid some of old women come here on for bath, sitting the long bench no movement. Every time when I come in the pool, I do hope please the day is my day, give me the time for one hour only.

Today is not my day, there are three people in one lane at least, may be today is the holiday, after exercise in the morning, they may have the dinner with family, I was so disappointed into water after turn on my data. The other two men in same lane, the one is slower than me, I am avoiding touching each other, hard to play faster to beyond him. And other one is a good swimmer, his free style swim is handsome and gentle, I cannot follow him even I have used up my efforts, still behind him for long runs.

I am watching my Garmin from the punch glasses at the last, 50 meter left for my goal, Frog style is my favourite, like just a fish in the water. I cannot believe when I turn off my data, 25.54 minutes for 1000 meter, it is the new record for me, I have never such good result my experience. What’s day is today! How big gift to me! I am sharing my data with one of boy who is the lifeguard at once. I felt the excitement to my whole body, the happiness comes to me so fast and quietly.

After the Lantern Festival, the life gets back to normal and the new year beings. Do what you like and you sure make a difference. Swimming is a nice way to exercise which burns fat and keeps your figure. Look forward seeing your new swimming record.
