Sledding: Good For The Soul

DoriSCN1434

Last night I took a walk with a friend around the Art Museum area.

Low and behold, (don’t you love that expression?) the entire steps were covered with snow and people where sledding down the steps!

I found a piece of discarded plastic trash can lid as if it were a diamond and ran up the part that was shoveled.

I stood at the top thinking, I DON’T WANT TO KILL MY ASS or self!

I sat down and pushed off and screamed: WEEEEEEE all the way down. My ass was ok at the bottom and I ran back up to do it again.

MY God! I haven’t gone sledding since high school. I’m such an old fart.

I tell you, I’m hooked on sledding.

And sledding down the Art Museum steps at night is a gas! When in my life time have I ever sledded on the Art Museum? Never! It’s a magnificent roller coaster of bumps, snow, ice, screams, and star lit perfection.

I kept picturing Yoga Unites for Living Beyond Breast Cancer in May and how the snow would all be gone. But RIGHT NOW! This was so much fun! I couldn’t stop laughing. Especially at the end, when I’d lean back in a modified “Boat” pose and crash into the side walk.

Ah, the joy of letting go and sliding into the Parkway.

Who knew that so much fun awaited?

Happy Sledding and SNOWGA!

    Weeeeee! Makes me definitely want to try snowboarding. I need to go convince a kid to “let me “hold” your snowboard.”
