so fortunate

Second day in a row that I get to just play and enjoy my grandkids...I am truly appreciative that my kids all live close by and allow me to spend time with my little ones whenever I can.  They make me so happy and I remember the things I wasn't able to do so well with my own kids and I feel like I get another chance to make a difference with them.

Went to the Y for my routine in the pool as usual this morning.  I was almost finished when the fire alarm went off.  Of course, we all thought it was a mistake, but we were quickly told that we needed to evacuate the building.  We exited by a direct exit to the side, where there was a small concrete pad with decorative rocks sticking out and a very steep slope with grass.  I was fine but a few older people and a disabled woman were quite cold and uncomfortable.  The lifeguards were awesome and handed out blankets to those who wanted, but they had no more information either.  6 fire trucks and more than 20 minutes later, they discovered a malfunction in the childcare section, and allowed us to return.  I did not NOT get back in the pool to finish...

Yesterday I watched a bit by Dan Ariely on self-control, which I really liked.  You can find it on line anywhere.

Love makes the world go around, elly

  1. Seems to me that the pool would have been the safest place in a fire? They must be idiots!
