Jump In – Cecylia at the Park Hyatt Melbourne Series

One thing I regret when we stayed at the Park Hyatt Melbourne a few weeks ago is not taking a dip in the pool. To swim in the azure waters would have been the perfect morning exercise, especially before indulging in the hotel’s breakfast buffet, but like most parents with a newborn, I chose sleep. Plus, I’m a terrible swimmer. Turns out that I’m the only one in both sides of my family who can’t swim like a fish. My mom’s favourite hobby was swimming in her local river. Hubby used to try to impress me with his under-water breath-holding skills. And my father-in-law used to be a life-guard. As for me, I’ve barely mastered doggy paddles. That’s why I’m so glad to see that the Park Hyatt’s pool is equipped with a life buoy. It’s nice to know that help is nearby.

Isn’t it interesting that the life buoy seems just a foolish plastic donut to those on land, but to the one who is drowning, it is life itself? Take the time to treasure the life buoys in your life. Whether it’s your family, your faith, your friends or your favourite song, you never know when your journey might lead you into deep waters where you’ll need a lifeline.

当我们几个星期前住在墨尔本Park Hyatt宾馆的时候，我后悔没有使用他们的游泳池。在湛蓝的水里游泳应该是最棒的晨练，尤其是在享受自助早餐之前。但像大多数新的父母，我选择了睡觉。而且，我不是很会游泳。我是我们家里最不会游泳的一位。我妈妈年轻的时候最喜欢的业余爱好就是游泳。老公经常在游泳池里显露他水下屏气的技能。而我的岳父曾经是个救生员。但我却连自由泳都不会。这就是为什么我很高兴看到宾馆游泳池配有一个救生圈。帮助离我们不远。

你会不会觉得很有趣？对于那些在陆地上的，这个救生圈只是个塑料得圆圈。但在沉入水的人，它好比是生命？我们应该花时间去珍惜我们生命里的“救生圈”。不管它是你的家人，你的信仰，你的朋友，甚至你最喜欢的歌，有一天你生命的旅程可能会引领你进入深水区，那时你将需要你的救生圈。
