Although the feeling of insecurity still looms around my work, I think I'm learning to cope with it. Trying not to think about my inexperience, my lack of business/marketing degree, my not so perfect grammer... even if I do suck, working twenty-four seven would not completely make up for it. So mind as well, not, I did my best Monday to Friday, the weekends are MINE!
This is the last weekend our ski resort, Squaw Valley will be open. Most of the snow has melted away and the mountain looks sadly brown, but we will make the most of it. Snowboarding is always fun, I love the fact it is a sport that's technical and mental. (maybe that's every sport, but I was never involved in any, only hiking I guess) We hiked all the way up to a great run with lots of soft snow, only to have my legs turn to jello when I was about to go down...
What a waste! Hiking with all my winter gear on when the spring sun was piping hot, needless to say snowboard was heavy too. All that hard work, and my legs won't move. All that was going through my head was, this is steep, and Ming and Skye were cheering me on in the back. Eventually I got down, not as gracefully as I imagined. I was so angry about wasting a hike, I hiked it and snowboarded down again :P
So it is this constant challenge about snowboarding that I like, if I was afraid of riding on a feature or going down a run, I try to tell myself how happy snowboarding makes me feel, and do it. It is a lot like life, there will always be risks, uncertainties, and fear of something, but as long as you remember how fun and happy living is suppose to be, then it's okay. Granted there are times that you choose to give up, not every battle is worth fighting, you got to live to snowboard another day. Who the heck invented the word "Comfort zone" anyways? It doesn't really exist.
