I just can’t believe it: we all made it
through the holiday season and we’re already surfing the 2013 wave! I hope you
had it safe and happy so far!
And what’s more, after a few additional
attempts this January, I made it to the top of the climb I talked about last
year. Without falling! (If you missed reading about my 2012 climbing adventures
and how it gave me insight into personal health, catch up at my blog below)
Want to see my climb?
I even learned things while putting this
video together, mainly that YouTube has an amazing music recognition feature
and did not allow my first choice of music mix to go public, even with credits.
Yes, YouTube had a few warnings for me, uh, so much for my ignorance of music
copyrights – no “We are the Champions” at the end, so excuse the open source
music.
Regarding the climb itself, every single
time before that filmed attempt, I fell.
Did you notice that short break at 1:10 on
the video timer, taking my time and relaxing my arm down? That’s critical. I
don’t really need rest at this stage, I am still fresh. But it saves me from my
usual fall at 2:10. No fall this time!
That roof at 1:30-2:00 is like going
through the holiday season: strenuous. And the break at 1:10? That is the break
I am going to take around Halloween 2013 that’s going to pay off for me next
year, and give me enough steam to surf into Christmas through to February.
In any case, resting when needed or falling
when there is no other choice – neither is the end of the world. Not if we have
a safety rope.
There’s more to my story, though: coming
soon!
It feels good to be back writing! Stay
tuned!
Sincèrement, et bonne santé!
Patricia
