\nMount Hutt in black and white.<\/p>\n

\nIt’s a little dusty on the way up the mountain.<\/p>\n

\nYeah, just a few skis.<\/p>\n

\nSnow bunnies. Uh huh… you can stop laughing now.<\/p>\n

\nMmmm… check out the beanie hair! Me after the skiing lesson when we’d gone inside for lunch. I really wasn’t sure about the whole skiing thing and the last thing I wanted to do was put my skis back on. So I didn’t. <\/p>\n

\nI went on a scenic helicopter flight with Kim instead. It was much more fun than skiing.<\/p>\n

So yeah… I wouldn’t rate today’s skiing a success at all. I found it incredibly difficult. But I don’t know why I thought it would be easy. It’s incredibly unnatural to strap two pieces of plastic to your feet and barrel down a snow-covered mountain side. I might have excellent balance and be coordinated but that seems to count for naught when it comes to skiing. Perhaps I’m thinking about it too much. I think about it too much and I get panicky that I’m going to fall over. Then when I do fall over, I get frustrated. I get frustrated which stressed me out and makes me upset. It’s a vicious cycle that I work myself into. Tomorrow I’m going to try to relax a little more and not get so worked up about it. I’ve been told that only falling over five times is actually pretty good for someone who’s never skied before.<\/p>\n

But it bothers me that I’m finding it so hard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
