"Gratitude feels best, not when it gets breathed in, but when it is blown into the sails of others, that the vehicle of their journey has more power"

"Love and truth are the two primary manifestations of divinity in which we can partake, and by partaking in them we become truer manifestations of the divine."

It Is All in My Mind

 
This was the most beautiful day ever. Sun and cloud were playing peek-a-boo. Rays were streaming through pine trees and then fog enveloped them in its gray breath. Then it moved revealing bright blue skies. This was a good day for skiing and challenging myself. First a little story. We have two cute cats at home so when Kenny saw Cat's Face run a couple of years ago he had to go on it. It is short but steep, I mean for me, very steep. Last year I tried, skied a few yards, fell and made the rest of it on my butt. Today Kenneth took me again on some 'easy' slopes, some of them actually black. Then I said I wanted to tackle the kitty run, which is blue, again. When I got to it I saw it steeper than any run I did today. And I skied it, slowly but I did! I am not afraid of the CAT anymore. Maybe learning to ski at 50 was not the smartest idea, meaning I should have done it many, many years ago but what I am realizing is that whatever the age I can be strong, I can overcome my fears.
