Happy Holidays: Remember to Breathe Video (Beautiful)

A colleague sent this to me today. Take a look and breathe (something I need to do more):

Re: Happy Holidays: Remember to Breathe Video (Beautiful)

Wow!! I want to do everything in that video again! Beautiful scenery, great activities, it made me cheerful enough to forget about this breast cancer for a moment. I look forward to being fully active again someday, hopefully soon. Thank you for posting it!! Have a terrific holiday! (Maybe I'll go skiing)

Re: Happy Holidays: Remember to Breathe Video (Beautiful)

That does it! I have to get better...and get to Alberta!! Wow!

The scenes with the sled dogs, smiling as they ran along...I want to feel that level of joy!

Reminded me of how long it's been since I strapped on my ice skates too!

And I've always been a sucker for waterfalls!

Thanks for the inspiration, Karen!

Happy Holidays to all.
Now that you mention it Denise, I haven't gone ice skating for years and years! And to think I used to ice skate every winter when I was growing up in Ohio. I also loved the scenes with sleds and dogs- that I could do. I am not much for skiing (too scared).
