Life is Like Longboarding Down Provo Canyon

Spring is finally hear my friends! And this morning I woke up and had the strong impression that I needed to visit my sanctuary: Provo Canyon. And anyone knows that, when the canyon call for you, you go. Immediately.

While cruising up and down the canyon path, listening to the sounds of spring, letting my mind float to whatever subjects it wanted to visit, and enjoying the warm sun and the cool air kissing my skin, I though of this:

Life is a lot like longboarding down Provo Canyon:

~The happiest moments of the day are the times when you let the wind through your hair, and smile because there's nothing that can bother you in that moment.

~Don't let the bumps in the path stop you, just ride them out.

~On that note, the bumps are some of the funnest parts.

~If you totally eat it, laugh at the fact that your bleeding and keep going.

~That sharp turn between Nun's and Glenn Canyon comes a lot faster than you think, you gotta be prepared!

~Bikers are mean jerkfaces. But just because you know that you'll run into them doesn't make you want to avoid the canyon.

~In fact, you are extra nice to everyone on the path just to prove that longboarders are better than bikers.

~The canyon is never a punishment, it is always a reward.

~Longboarding down Provo Canyon is all about the experience: the sounds of the wheels on the asphalt and the rush of the river, the cool air, the birds chirping,the tingle from the vibration through your feet, and all those damn bugs getting plastered to your face.

~Some of the best memories are made when the sun is down and the moon is full.

~Longboarding down Provo Canyon makes your friendships stronger, and your solitary moments more fulfilling.

So, those were my thoughts this morning. I don't know what I would do without the little bits of time I get to spend in the canyon. There is nothing better than to have something in your life that makes you smile for the sake of smiling while your doing it. I think I'll go again tomorrow, anyone want to join me?

Happiness is...
