Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast

We're all winding our way through winter. Sometimes it feels like the cold and snow add friction to life. When it comes to jackets, and mittens, and hats, and boots, and oooops, where's the other mitten?! Fuck!

Other times, the cold and snow add an element of magic. Hot chocolate, snow people, sledding, skiing.

Last season, when I was taking Hazel up on the lifts while teaching her how to ski, the dude helping at the lifts said, "Slow is Smooth and Smooth is Fast." 

It's become a bit of a winter-time mantra for me. Especially when I notice myself feeling rushed or in a hurry.
