A swim to remember

Rules: Some memories you remember even if they are not significant at all
Exception: When you decide to make them significant they will be remembered because of that.

One summer my friend Elizabeth was visiting us in Sweden. One day we went with our daughters to the nearby lake for a swim. She doesn't really swim well (although she teaches other people to swim..) but the lake was calm and the water was just the right temperature. We lay there side by side floating in the water. Some cold streams would from time to time revive us but I can still remember that blissful moment, just lying there and being carried on the water, watching the sky and feeling the water and listening to Elizabeth.

It was just one of the times we went swimming, and one of the few times I went swimming with her that vry warm summer but it is this moment I remember. I also remember thinking - this is something I want to remember.

And so I do.
