Who Knew Freezing Could Be So Fun!
I love adventures, but usually it takes some convincing for me to try something new. Last night a friend called up and asked if I wanted to go on a short Ski Doo ride. Being from “up along”, I’ve never been out on a Ski Doo. It’s not that we don’t have them “up along”, but you have to go to the outskirts of the city so they are not as noticeable. Here, you can hear the Ski Doo’s out on the Harbour frequently.
So it took some convincing of course for me to head out at around 8PM on a ride, but I did and it was fun!

So as I donned my borrowed Ski Doo suit, we raced through the trails and across the ponds, over the hills, through the trees. We flew through the air at breakneck speeds.
Ok so the picture is not of me on the Ski Doo and the people I was with were tame, knowing it was my first time. It was indeed a good time, and as we rode across the ponds I wondered why I give in to my adventuresome side more often.
If I had stayed in last night, I would have missed the refreshment of the cold crisp air, the beauty of the frost on the trees. The snow covering the trees on the hill.
So the moral of the story is: Don’t get to snug curled up on the couch take the opportunity for adventure, big or small.
In the words of Ferris Bueller “ Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
