Back in Time, Yet Still in the Present

Losing yourself is easy when you are: a mom, a wife, a daughter, a sister, an in-law, a granddaughter, a friend, a full-time employee, a home ownera car owner, etc. I’ve been a little lost for a while . . .
Although I was miserably cold and missed my family all day I am glad I left for a few hours the past 2 Sundays. Last week, when I came home and complained about missing everyone and how unbelievably cold I was… Siamak said, “I am glad you went.” It hit me right then with that simple statement... I did something that was all about me – only me. I didn’t go to the spa or anything like that. I left early in the morning, on a snowy cold Sunday to re-train after a 10 year hiatus to be a Ski Instructor. I met new people and was welcomed by old friends – a hug from someone who remembers me when I was "me" before all those things above was really kind of mind boggling. I love my life as mom, a wife, a daughter, a full-time employee etc. – I really do…it was just really nice to go back in time and still be in the present. I think I will be able to be a better everything because I’ll be taking time to do something that puts back a little bit of me.

Yesterday was an incredible day to enjoy waist deep powder, a few bumps and skiing that brings out that little dare devil in me. I skied harder than I had it 10 years - my thighs were burning!!! The burn was good and I am looking forward to this season where Setareh and Sia will enjoy some discounted lessons and passes and Arian will take to the slopes come spring! Yeehah!!!!
