2. I used to go skiing when I was a kid.

3. I belonged to the Explorer Scouts,
which was kind of like boy scouts.

4. But instead of merit badges and
helping old ladies cross the street, we
just did things like camping and hiking.

5. And once a year, we all went on this
big ski trip to this big mountain resort.

6. Bunch of kids crammed into a cabin,
away from out parents, and only a few
adults.

7. All of us with crappy equipment that
we had to rent.

8. Great fun.

9. I remember two types of ski runs as a
kid.

10. One was steep and flat.

11. One was steep with these HUGE
moguls.

12. Moguls are like little hills, (some not so
little) and are kind of put there
accidentally by how skiers make a lot
of quick turns going down the
mountain.

13. Since I was never good enough to do
that, I HATED moguls.

14. I would make this HUGE zig-zags down
the mountain, and moguls made that
incredible difficult.

15. Problem was you couldn't tell which
runs had the huge moguls unless you
went down the run.

16. So I had to kind of remember which
ones did and which ones didn't.

17. Once we got the nerve to take the lift
up to the biggest, steepest run.

18. We all looked over the edge and said,
"No Way!"

19. So we went down the backside.

20. Through a bunch of trees and back
around to the front.

21. Funny thing was that was likely the
most fun we had that trip.

22. It took us a couple hours, since we had
no idea where we were going, and a
lot of it was pretty flat.

23. But it was an adventure.

24. Had we not had the courage to go all
the way to the top, we would never
have experienced that.

25. The best things can happen when you
least expect them.

26. But unlike the movies, they don't really
happen "to" you, while you're sitting
around.

27. That's the great dream of most of us,
to be thrust into some kind of
adventure without much effort on our
part.

28. But in real life, we've got to take part.

29. We've got to get out there and get in
the mix.

30. Sure, sometimes we'll come across
these huge scary moguls we've got to
get around.

31. Other times, we'll look down and say
"No Way!" and try to find another
path.

32. But those "other paths" are where all
the good stuff is.

33. Amazing things will happen when you
get out there and open yourself up to
whatever is waiting.

34. Having the courage to do so will help.
