In autumn 2002 we had early snowfall and temperatures cold enough for ski areas to make snow. On October 26, 2002 I skied again for the first time since the skiing accident on February 25th, 2002. Wild Mountain always opens first in the state every year. I had never skied there before, but adventured out alone for the 1 1/2 hour drive to the ski area. Only one run was open, but that was enough to make me super happy. I could now experience what it felt like to ski again. It was awesome despite my liver and spleen getting very sore on the slopes during each run.
The skiing accident might have took away all past feelings, but I relearned what it felt like to feel every kind of feeling again at the ages of 24 and 25. Every activity was like a brand new experience. And it was a wonderful way to reattach feelings to memories that occurred before the accident.
Anyone can enjoy similar types of feelings of doing an activity for the first time again. It's easy. Simply focus on what you are doing and how you feel. Even now, several years later, I can create extra special and wonderful feelings while inline skating and skiing. Sometimes I go faster or simply take a moment while alone to really look at nature and what is surrounding me.
Never forget that you are unique. Life will throw challenges at you. And it's up to you to make the best of the opportunities that come along your way. When you create more positivity in your life, any negative things will get better faster. Make time to fully enjoy life now and your future memories will be filled with wonderful experiences.
