I have been embracing momma time this winter with some cross-country ski time. My partner took out the tractor and made some trails in our bush, not expecting anyone to use them more than once. HA! I LOVED IT!
Going out with friends is great because you get the exercise but you also get the laughs and the great conversation. I honestly didn't think I would like going to the bush myself, thinking that I would get nervous being there by myself. So one day I didn't have anyone to go with and I took the plunge and went and found that it was one of the most magical and peaceful experiences that I have had. I loved being by myself with no cars, trucks or houses in sight. Only the wind and trees whispering to me. (and my ever present body guard, our border collie) I was feeling a little guilty when I first started going out to ski and leaving the wee ones with my partner but then I realized that it is good for this momma to get some alone time and it is good for them to spend time together without momma too. There is only a couple more weeks of this winter wonderland and then spring will come and everything tends to get really busy so I am going to enjoy my winter wonderland while it lasts.
Only the strong survive.
New growth
You can do it!

Doesn't this look like a crying tree?
Hey, who is that old man of the woods?
A gentle reminder that we are not alone.
When I 'accidentally' went off the trail and had to climb a fence. The skiis came off!
This was actually taken as I was falling down on my bum!

How can people not be inspired by the nature that is around them
