On Sunday, it was 11 degrees with a wind chill of -2 degrees. AND...we left our house at 7:30 AM to travel to Ski Roundtop for Ada's ski lesson. The slopes opened at 8:00 AM, and I was confident the place would be pretty deserted. Wrong! The parking lot was packed. The resort was bustling with happy skiers. What? It's Siberian out here. Are you people crazy?! First, it is obvious I am NOT the skier in the family. And, YES, everyone around me was crazy - crazy in love with skiing.
"I am strong. I am smart. I am brave. I am beautiful."
That is the statement I ask my 8-year old daughter to say to me every morning to remind her of a few of her important gifts. I have also repeated that same statement to her, to boost her confidence when she is fearful. |
