gone with the wind

for our family ski season starts tomorrow.

i'm excited.
 

excited to wrestle the gear into the car, balance it all carefully across the icy parking lot, squeeze each foot perfectly into our cold hard boots and hit the slopes.


our chilly bottoms on the cold lift, the winter air whipping against our exposed skin, our burning thigh muscles working harder than they have in months, i'm looking forward to it all.

but more than anything i'm looking forward to the grand finale, the part when i let go and SPEED down the mountain, all my worries and woes scattering away behind me.
