Skiing

I will be hitting the slopes today. I need a little reprieve, a few moments of zen, time to myself, time to just be.

Growing up in Florida, I had the pleasure of enjoying walks on the beach or even a long walk down a par 5 to my next shot on the golf course. Even if I was riding in the cart with someone else, there was something about walking to my ball in between shots, that I loved. It was my moment. My moment to thank god for a gorgeous day or to say a prayer about something as petty as my making my putter work, checking of my mental to do list, or maybe it was time to take in the fresh air. No matter, what the thoughts were that were going through my head, they were there for reason. There is something about a small amount of time that one can focus simply on the zen moment.

Since, I have made the move to the cold weather country, I have found that riding down the slopes give me the same zen. Although, it is usually cold, so I always have multiple layers on, I am getting wind burn on my face, while my nose is running and I usually end up exhausted at the end of the day...none the less I get my fill of zen. No matter now much someone wants to talk to you on the slopes, you can't hear anything. Its perfect for those moments of solitude. I am thoroughly looking forward to enjoying the slopes.

I hope you all have a good day. Take a moment to find a little zen.
