free as a bird

Have you been on a swing lately?

All children love swings don't they? I still love it even as an adult. There is something so liberating about flying through the air back and forth.

As a teenager, I used to sometimes get off my bus at a later stop than usual just so I could walk through a park that had swings on my way home. I'd stop and have a turn for a while. The higher I went the more glimpses of the bay below I could see. It was a great way to end the day. No matter what had happened or how I felt, a good swing was enough to wipe the stresses of the day away and leave me feeling free and happy.

Now as an adult I sometimes feel a bit silly on a swing, but it's worth it just to get that feeling back.

  1. I love the swings too.
    I use to go the long way home just so I could swing at the park.
    Having a play when it was empty was so nice.

  3. Swings are the best. I get motion sickness easier now than I did when I was little, though! =P
