SO I think I'm going for a record...three posts in one night, but I lOVE this thing. I feel so content putting my thoughts into words.
Tonight Bri, Paige, and me made our Monday trip to Lacrosse to go skiing. I had so much fun! Last week was my first week on skiis ever, so I just assumed I'd be bunny hilling it up again this week...but no. We took the chair lift and advanced 3 hills tonight. Good God was I scared! I fell off the chairlift about three times as I tried to quickly get off. I ran into my instructor, pummled down the hill on my skiis with my ass draggging along with, and fell several more times going down the hill when I found my skiis unable to stop fast enough for me. This was the first half of the night, falling, falling, falling. But I just laughed at myself and kept on plugging away. Last week I didn't fall once, so I was worried I'd lost my coordination or something. But don't worry, I hadn't. By the second half I was doing just fine. I wasn't falling, and was getting the turns and stops down to a T. I decided I love skiing. Not gonna lie, each time I get to the top of the hill my mind tells me, "OMG OMG OMG...you're gonna kill yourself, you're crazy, you can't do THIS MASSIVE HILL!" But each time I did it even when it scared me. It felt SO good. Usually I would chicken out and take the easy road, the easy hill, the easy life. But I pushed myself, and it felt so good! It felt so incredibly good standing on top of the hill which felt like the top of the world to me, feeling the wind dance with me, and the my skiis brush the snow. I think I love skiing so much because for those 2 hours I feel so alive. It's 2 hours in my week where I honestly forget about EVERYTHING. I forget about the tests, and money, and trips, and sadness. It's 2 hours where everything seems so divine and full of life, I feel so full of life. I guess...well...I guess it's when I don't care about what I look like, or who likes me or doesn't, or where I'm going to be 5 10 or 20 years from now. I'm just enjoying the moment. Why is this so great? Because I don't do this very much....and I love it!
