I try not to take Skiing for granted. We’re lucky we live in a great ski resort, just five minutes from its slopes and we can ski whenever we feel like or when the weather is too nice to stay home. 

We’re grateful for that, yet sometimes, skiing feels like a chore when the conditions aren’t quite Perfect, we aren’t in the perfect mood and so forth. Yet, in these moments, I always remind myself that it very well could be my last day of skiing in my life, just like any new morning could be my last on this earth.

That’s enough to give me a different, much more enthusiastic outlook and make me savor every turn, every bump and every little challenge as a precious, fun element that makes me appreciate what I should never take for granted. 

So if you ski, no longer do it or have never stepped on a pair of skis, if you just walk, ride your bike, swim or play a round of golf, make sure to fully appreciate when you’re out, as well as each one of your most minute and subtle moves. 

They are part of your good life and they are priceless!
