Swimming

I have a goldfish.  No way a goldfish you might say?  Yep, a goldfish.  A ryukin goldfish to be exact.  He's pretty cool and named after one of our favorite soccer players.  Like all fish he spends his day swimming around in his bowl.  Unlike other fish, he likes to play dead.  Floating upside down at the top of his bowl dead.  The first time he did it I thought he WAS dead.  So I turned off the air pump, took off the lid of the tank, dunked in the net to scoop him out and he flips over and starts swimming again.  What the heck!  What fish does that?  My fish obviously.  Now we joke that one of these days he will be dead and we won't notice for a few days. 

What's the point of my ramblings about my fish?  Just this.  Everyone is different.  Some days I'd like to be able to play dead.  Flop on my bed and just lay there.  Relaxing and enjoying the scenery from a different angle.  Just for a little while.  Just to mix it up a little.  To look at things a little differently.  You never know what you might see if you just look at things in a slightly different light.
