I do remember what was my happiest day of 2018,
It was on June 17th, on a Sunday morning when my sister arranged this day by the pool. I haven't told you guys that I love water and also swimming so once I saw the blue water I felt eager to get into it and start swimming like if there wasn't another day to live. It can't be expressed with words. In fact I encourage you people to preserve water and not waste it please! PS: I wish I could post a photo of me in the pool, but I am worried if it breaks any rules in myLot cause I don't know if posting a picture of myself shirtless might break the rules about the nudity stuff, so I will post a pic of my second happiest day of 2018 instead.

Yes, isn't it? It's kind of new that boat over there, that's why I told my friend to shoot the pic there, however it was a little tricky to take it cause there was so much wind that day, and little things used to get stuck between the sunglasses and It was hilarious lol! I had a blast! Thanks for commenting!

@jvicentevalera my teacher wasn't paying attention and I lost my trust on him.

Really? I wish I was your teacher so you would have a better experience. I am so sorry you had such an unpleasant experience. When I was younger I almost drowned too, but once I got older I had the need to learn how to swim so now i am able to.

@nela13 In my opinion he did wrong. I haven't been a swim teacher because no one has told me to teach them, however when being a swim teacher they have to make sure that there's a safe environment so all people can feel they're safe. I am so sorry you went through a unpleasant and sort of disappointing moment. I hope that in the future you can be taught by somebody who is well-prepared to teach something so important like swimming is.

@marlina Absolutely I am from latin america, and once I saw a soap opera and the female leading role had your name, and I liked it ever since. If I had a daughter I would name her like you. :) Take care lady.

@DianneN that's just wow! You always impress me! That's great now I see why you look so great! Swimming is so good for our muscles. :) In fact, I once heard that swimming is a great fat burner, so many people who don't like working out at the gym can go swimming then. :)

@Ladanger Yes it is my passion, I love swimming so much! In fact I don't exactly how deep the pool was, but I think it was like 13ft, or something like that. But I swam all the long and i felt so happy. I wish I could come back more often.

@sofssu You're not pathetic, at least not for me. Anyway it's okay you can always be in the area where people can still touch the floor with their feet and it is enjoyable too to be there.

Why not? Is it because either you don't like it, or you feel you wouldn't succeed at it?

@Courage7 Me neither lol. Nonetheless I did not want to take the risk of getting my post banned, that is why I opted to post this image out, which is great and means a good memory too. I hope Courage that 2019 brings the best, not only good health but also long life for us and loved ones. Amen.

Oh that's great. I mean you don't have to be an expert to get into a pool, there are certain areas in a pool where you can step so you can be just there and have a good time in the water.

@Karenmm Absolutely. Despite that sometimes I feel down, then I make sure to pick myself up and carry on, we have to self-motivate ourselves if we don't have anybody who does it. :)

I did @Karenmm It was my second happiest day of 2018. In spite that this year hasn't ended yet, that day remains the 2nd happiest day, cause the first one was the day I referred on the post.

Anna I am so sorry that this year hasn't been as you might have expected, but I promise you next year will be the best ever! Nonetheless You have to work on making it the best year ever, because somehow to make it different depends on us. In my case this year was hard cause I lost a friend who studied with my in college, he was like a brother to me, and he was only 26 years old and passed away, I cried, took some time to figure it out, and kept going. Despite all those tough days I had, I keep thanking God for giving me the opportunity to live another day and allowing me to strive harder to achieve my life goals. Hope this year ends beautifully for you! Thanks for commenting, you're such a cool lady!

@LadyDuck I am sure there will be better and calm days ahead. I am so sorry to hear that your mom passed away in this year. I really hope you can find calm and hope in God. I think I said this before to somebody else in here, and it was that never forget to talk to your loved ones who passed away, I always make sure to talk to them when i am in solitude, and I assure you they're listening from where they are. Stay strong, and positive, you are such a smart, and good woman. You deserve the best, and when I say it I really mean it. :)

@jvicentevalera Swimming gives me the opportunity to socialize. I'm alone 98% of the time.

Swimming is the best thing to do when you wanna be alone with yourself. It feels like you are in another place. Underwater things are less complicated. LOL Thanks fof your kind comment Valerie! :)

@just4him Sometimes it is good to be alone, cause you have the chance to communicate with your inner self. However it is healthy to socialize too. In my case I am literally dying to come back to the pool again.

Ana thanks for commenting! Well, I think most people commented on my post cause that ship behind me stole the attention from me LOL. I will be honest I haven't researched about what It really means that ship over there, but it does have to do with Venezuela being colonized by Spain hundreds years ago, and I think it portraits one of the ships where the colonizers used to travel to get here. :)
