Ice Heart

Ice blocking could quite possibly redefine the meaning of fun for me.  There is nothing like hurtling down a hill, completely out of control, with your body facing the forces of gravity, all with the expectation of a crash at the end.  Trying out all the combination's of stances to find the one that fits you best. Butt-first, stomach superman style, kneeling, surfer, link train, backwards, and the list goes on and on.  Include the difficulties of different courses and you have a challenge on your hands to get to the bottom of the hill.  Most of all, ice blocking, is an activity about friends.  There is nothing like teaming up, trying to make it to the bottom without crashing, only to realize the crash is the best part because everyone busts up laughing.  It's such a wonderful experience all the way around.  I am blessed for the delightfulness of my friendships, the loveliness of nature to play on, and the elegance of God watching over us.  Amazing Valentines.
