Ah the cold, dark, season of winter. Change has arrived and another snowboard season is upon all of us up here in the northern hemisphere. You know when a girl likes a guy and gets all those giddy feelings… that’s how I feel. It’s going to be a good winter.
Change is unavoidable as we all know. Sometimes its for the good and sometimes its for the, "not so good". But it is important to remember to look on the bright side of things. Everything no matter how, “not so good” they are has something you can take away from it to make you better. Let’s take a physical injury for example. Right now as I am typing this I have a painful right ankle and a messed up left quadricep. I am unable to run and also unable to bike, talk about depression. But looking on the bright side it allows me to focus on things I normally miss out on. Reading, movies, and especially just relaxing is a new change.
The season of winter can be depressing for some cause of the days seemingly getting shorter and there being less light. Its important to look on the bright side. The winter can be a beautiful season depending on the way we view it. Sled riding, snowman making, baking cookies and the frequent snowball fights bring us back to our youth and remind us of being a kid. All experiences in life take time, never rush the moment. There is a particular moment when you are snowboarding that you feel free, reborn in a sense. The moment everything is effortless and you feel like you are flying. Embracing the change of seasons and making the best of the situation is the best way to view things. We cant control the weather or the seasons but what we can control is the way we view it. Are perspective.

P.S. I’m sorry to inform the few people who actually read these things that my goal for 12 essays in 2011 has be accomplished.
