Chirpings from a Strathalan Sparrow

The Aussie swimmers have their National Swimming Championships and  Trials at the end of the week, that will also result in who is selected to represent Australia at the Olympics ! The swimmers put such a lot of work and time in preparation for the races, then it passes by so very quickly! Sometimes swimmers win by a fingernail! It would be better perhaps  to keep your fingernails long! Even the thought of swimming 1500 metres makes me feel tired!  Life doesn't always go " swimmingly" and smoothly. Things happen in our days and lives that hit us like waves. But just like the swimming

spectators this week will be encouraging on the swimmers, may the love and support of our loved ones both here and those special ones who have passed away encourage and help us as as we " freestyle" though the day. May the pretty butterflies from "butterfly"  strokes accompany your journey through life day by day. Sometimes there is delight to swim backwards and remember special occasions in our lives. May we all swim onwards ever onwards through the day by day until we reach the finishing line.
