228: To Soar and to be Sore

I'm acquiring a new skill; I'm learning to snowboard. Yesterday I went with this gay ski group here in NY to one of their many day trips. I had a very modest goal in learning a new skill: to Toe Edge. Admittedly, acquiring this technique meant I'd spend most of the time coming down the bunny hill in a prone or a supine position. Yes, indeed the morning was discouraging, but due to my natural athleticism (HAHAHA!), by the end of the day, I've got the hang of edging my board with my toe. Yet true to form, I was reminded that in Life, nothing is easy. Pain comes hand in hand with the journey to meet a goal.
