The word of the day is resilience!

I think I learned to ski before I could walk, at least it feels that way. My passion for the mountains is something that I shared with my two sons as well and still share even though they are now adults. Whether  it was skiing/snowboarding, snow shoeing, cross country skiing, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, etc., I truly identify as a mountain goat.

All of that changed two years ago this winter when I had a minor fall skiing, tore my ACL, had the surgery, 12 months of physical therapy, 2 years of strength training, yoga, cardio, and just plain grit and determination with the hope that I would once again be able to enjoy the awe inspiring beauty, peace, and freedom of spending time in the forest.

This week I was able to accomplish that goal and spent a moment skiing in the Sierras.

They say one of the Pillars of Healthy Aging is Resilience.

So, what makes you Resilient?
