Skiing year round

I love the idea that if I wanted to go skiing, no matter what time of the year it is or weather, that I can find places that offer slopes that I can satisfy my need to ski. I am the type that loves to go shopping for the gear, I make sure that I have everything needed especially my ski goggles. I love the excitement I get on these getaways and just going down the slopes, it's an experience everyone should feel.

Track your steps

Walking each day for 10,000 steps have been shown that it equals to an active person. Use a pedometer, which you can get at amazon.com, and see how many steps that you actually walk. This is great if you are not moving around ona daily basis, these steps will ensure that you get your body moving.

Attention spans

Contribution by Prince Raymond

Have you ever noticed the way movies seem longer than they are sometimes? I was using our http://www.tvbydirect.com/directv-deal/Laredo-MISSOURI-MO-direct-tv.html to watch a movie just the other day. It was one I had seen once in the movies, but that I had not seen since. I think it is called the Holiday. It is about two women who switch homes for two weeks to escape from their lives. It is interesting because the things they try to escape end up coming and finding them. They face their challenges and by the end of the movie, the two women really prove themselves to be strong, independent women. When I first saw the movie, I did not think it was very long. It seemed as if we were hardly in the movie theater at all. When I watched it recently on the TV, it seemed much longer. It is possible it has something to do with how focused I was when I watched the movie the two different times. Whatever the case, it really surprises me the way in which we perceive time sometimes. It changes all the time in life and even watching a movie shows that.

New Year, New Shows

One of the things that I do look forward to is new shows and seeing whats interesting to watch. I am a very picky person and it would take a nice plot and storylines to keep me entertained, but the thing is I have a habit of not giving certain shows a chance because of how it looks when I first view it. People would recommend shows to me and tell me oh my it is so good and the best and so and so, but I need to make that decision myself, usually if a lot of people like it and it gets rave reviews, I will most likely enjoy it as well. So here is to new shows to entertain me and keep me interested!
