Sledding together

The beautiful thing about sledding down a hill with kids is that it doesn’t matter if you do it well.

You can have a stellar run with a fast jump and a soft landing … and everyone enjoys it.

Or you can have an awkward run where you fall off the sled and look foolish … and everyone still enjoys it.

Sledding is about fun and affiliation. It’s a practice in humility. It’s an infinite game where there are no winners. No losers.

Sometimes it’s nice to prioritize activities that don’t involve competition … and just focus on being silly, laughing, and being together.
