Imagination Can Take You Far
Sunday, September 28th, 2008Imagining you are somewhere else can be the thing that gets you there sometimes. Today I was out cleaning my pool and it was an extra heavy job. I got sick last week and skipped a week of pool cleaning. To make matters worse it’s just before payday and we don’t have the bucks until the first to get chlorine and the other chemicals we need. To make matters worse yet, I discovered just this morning that the pump timer is broken so since last week, the pool has not been filtering. Result? The pool looks like the green lagoon.
So what does this have to do with imagination? Well, I really was getting nowhere with cleaning the pool. What I really needed to do was get the vacuum down in the deep end and have it suck up like crazy. It didn’t look that much different than a lake … actually :)
I swam around like a green monster cleaning his swamp and I must tell you had some of the best fun pretending that I’ve had since childhood. My pool is now a lot cleaner and ready for the first when I run right over to the pool supply and get those chemicals to turn my imagination of having a clean pool into reality.
Oh, and note to self: budget pool chemicals in better.
