Swing

My collegiate daughter and I went to a nearby favorite park to hit tennis balls during her Christmas break.  Not only were we the only tennis players, we were the only ones in the whole park.  Another couple entered the tennis courts just as we prepared to leave.  As I turned toward the car, Julia spontaneously said, "Let's go swing".

What an exhilarating rush of childhood memories - from her childhood and mine!  There's pure joy in this simple activity. 

As our children are maturing, they often hear, "you're not old enough".  As adults age, they often think, "I'm too old".  Though the height varies through the age cycle, swinging can bring joy at any age.  I highly recommend it for the young and the young at heart.
