An afternoon of skiing

My wonderful day continued with an afternoon of skiing. My sons had gone to the mountain a bit earlier with their Dad, but I found them all there and got to ski with my boys. One snowboards and the other skis and I was amazed by their skill. A knee injury and the resulting surgery have meant that I didn't ski much this year or last, so I had missed seeing much of their evolution on the mountain. So I am so very impressed by them - their budding independence and enthusiasm for finding their power. Even though my younger son did bump his wrist, we iced it a bit and then he attacked the mountain again for several more runs before the end of the day.
The mountain was sunny and warm - the sky a deep cerulean. Trees near the top of the lift still shone with a cover of luminescent ice.
And tonight I had a lovely conversation with a woman who I admire and feel so fortunate to be getting to know better. We are hosting a call tomorrow night for the team we are on in our business of helping people improve their nutrition and well being. So tonight, as I prepare for sleep, I am thankful for how good life can be on a day of living consciously.
Namaste.

Is Namaste your last name?

Namaste is a combination of the two Sanskrit words: nama, and te. Basically, nama means "to bow" and te means "you."

Namaste = "bow to you"

Thanks for reading my blog!
