It may be news to you but there is an etiquette to swimming in lanes so I was a bit frustrated this morning when two love birds almost swam breast stroke hand in hand up the lane - there is a sign at the end of the lane saying "fast lane"! I was under instructions to time certain parts of my swim so had to take the risk in overtaking them which knocks your rhythm out and can be dangerous if someone is swimming in the opposite direction. The couple probably were annoyed with me creating a few waves on the way past but if the pool attendants had done their job it would have been a lot easier. At one stage I was about to give up and get out the pool when I realised that I was wasting energy focusing on the negative. How often do we do that in life I wonder?
So I ignored the swimming love birds and got on with the task that I'd been set. The frustration and negativity disappeared and I felt better for accomplishing my goal.
