I could have saved this picture for "Wordless Wednesday" tomorrow, but I'm not sure if I'll have computer access to do it then. So it's up today to mark the anniversary of a very sad day in my life. I lost someone very special to me several years ago. That someone took this picture of me. It was one of those rare moments where there was nothing but complete joy, freedom and happiness surrounding me. I was twirling about in the Romanian Alps while my friends nearby sang "The Hills Are Alive." Just seconds after this picture was taken my foot hit one of the white rocks on the ground below me, I tripped fell, and rolled hot dog style a considerable distance down the side of that mountain and right into a pile of mountain goat poop. One of my friends yelled out, "as you wish!" as I rolled. It was truly one of the funniest and happiest moments of my life. And I am so glad I have it to think of today as I think about the friend missing from my life.
Ha! You just gave me my laugh of the day. Too bad that picture isn't a video. :)
ReplyDeleteSomewhere someone has the video footage of it happening. But all you really see and hear is offkey, "... of music..." and suddenly see me biff it and roll down a hill. We showed it to enough people after it happened to figure out it was only funny in person, and not on the tape. Too bad. I could have won Bob Saget's $100,000.
