Next on my list of 100 Things of Awesomeness, are swings. Is there anything that makes you feel like spring more than watching children on the playground swings. I mean, spring bulbs and blossoms are great; however, do they really connect with you the way that flying back and forth on a sturdy playground swing set does? The way that the wind flows through your hair and that whoosh whips by your ear with each leg pump? That little drop in your stomach every time the swing changes direction?
For me, swings are like time machines; it takes only a few leg pumps back and forth for me to be transported back to my childhood where each swoosh down made me feel like I could fly. Back to a time when anything was possible, and my imagination ruled the world (instead of the world ruling my imagination...).
I may need to head out and have myself a swing. J
