bright close days deal expect few hardest honest hope last lightly looking pass perfectly react shaped sooner
Of course, the last 10 years have shaped who I am today, and I know that how I react to the last few days will also shape who I will become, but to be perfectly honest I'm not even close to looking on the bright side.

bush dad fell found hid rest ride skiing stood time took
My Dad got me into skiing when I was 7. The first time he took me skiing, I fell off the T-bar on my first ride up. I stood up, skied down, making turns, or so he claims, and hid in a bush for the rest of the afternoon. When he found me I said 'I never want to ski again.' I feel a lot like that right now.
