So it is Christmas again & another burning hot ski tour

As always I woke up one day realizing it is Christmas in just a few days. And so I did yesterday. At 12:30. I haven´t slept that long for several year - I had really to hurry to manage to do shopping before closing time at 16.00. Annoyed really...I really wanted to go up early this morning.

So I did start my X-mas shopping by buying three gifts and of course the most expensive to myself. But before showing you that awesome thing - let me introduce my oldest daughter. The most pretty girl in town. And of course also the best salsa dancer too.

Here she is:

But I think this angle is prettier

Talking about beauty - this is where she got her dancing & beauty genes from ;-)

Saturday Night Fever?
Nice Christmas gift, surprise surprise.
About ageing and how to feel good
I must admit I feel a little bit old the day after a skitour. The tendons in my heels do not like skiing but since I do they just have to obey. I have to figure out what insoles to use for the skiboots. And meanwhile I have to pamper my heels with warm socks and liniment. I am pretty good at pampering....so we can manage. Including in day-after-ski-pampering is also wearing high heels. I can do that offer for the good sake.
the light is actually yellow but iPhone makes it burning hot red
Probably corresponding my temperature

I went skiing tonight once again. Angry at everybody and everyone but the most angry at myself. And as always - every bad feeling was wiped out after that skitour. I really wish everyone on this earth find a similar magic cure for all kinds of "feeling bad".

The silence, the snow, the nature, the smell, the partly monotone and hard work making an almost meditative transcendental feeling. I love feeling my body working really hard. That is probably why I like going to the gym and swimming too. I like that kind of meeting with my body and feel how it responds to my wish. It is amazing much more we can manage then we actually believe. Not that I ran that hard this night - I just ran hard enough to get any effect and still save my heel tendons.

On the way down from the prepared tracks I was risking my life as usual. It was a kind of off pist skiing with cross country skis. 30 centimetre new snow and no other skiers this day at that path.Only a few footprints. I ended up first in the blackberry bushes and then literally in a spruce. But I fell softly and giggling. This is also a part of that therapy :)
