I've been riding for a while (snowboarding) and I really just realized this season that I was doing it as a personal challenge more than for the fun. I am too analytical. Every ride was about improvement and form and making myself push on the bubble that is my comfort zone. This last week is I think the first time in, well forever, that I really understood what 'living in the moment meant' . It means letting go. It means embrace the present. It means don't worry about what you just did or what you are about to do. It means ride life. I don't 'let go' easily but it is my new goal. Yesterday was a powder-diamond snow-white room turns-float in the air becuase you land on clouds-sunbeam chase in the trees, kind of day. Couldn't ask for better. How aften do you do something that you just really and truly can't help shouting for joy?

I could use a moment worth shouting for joy...its been awhile! Just smiles of joy for now...I love you, sister.
Did you "Wahoo'?
Cuz I'm pretty sure it sounded like a Wahoo kind of day.

Congrats on letting go. I have problems with that myself.
