the best medicine

january 16, 2011

just had the best day in the mountains ever!  alright i don't have many to compare, but that's beside the point.  so many things made it great:

• talyn and i both graduated to a chair lift and went down some real runs with some confidence
• i made the drive to and from the mountains alone (alright following friends on the way back) through some pretty dicey conditions
• a school friend who sent me the email in the fall and invited us to join them and others in this program for the kids and really made this all possible - thanks michelle
• my amazing friends who helped me with the drive and spent the afternoon taking talyn down a real hill so i could do the same - em, neil, laura and jamie - thanks doesn't seem like enough

although there were a few moments where i felt sad that ryan wasn't there with us, i built a lot of confidence doing it on our own.  and so for now my anxiety feels a million miles away and life seems possible again. 

so make sure to push yourself, you'll be surprised at the result.

talk soon,
