Floating in the sea or a pool allows me to feel a fearless weightlessness, as if this is just the way life is supposed to be

I was pleasantly surprised to find the pool water wasn’t chlorinated, it was simply sea water, delectably salty. Representation Pic
It has been a week since I last worked on my laptop. My device has been sitting inside the cupboard of our hotel room. I’ve felt little to no inclination to turn it on. Today marks day six of our vacation at a resort in Corfu. We fly back tomorrow after lunch. All the days have simply dissolved into salt water. I know their taste well. My body has metabolised each memory, each residue.
I felt emotional yesterday because I’ve never been on such a relaxed, stress-free holiday. The elements I feared were excesses were what transformed it into a kind of luxury stay. Did you know you can do something like a half board, which means, besides breakfast, you eat either lunch or dinner at the hotel you’re staying at? Buffet dinners are far from exhilarating, but I’ve enjoyed having the break from everyday cooking and dish washing. I’ve loved spending time with our child without having to work in between. Pure, unadulterated family time.
