When do you guys feel most alive?

:)

The idea of truck driving always sounded appealing to me. But I imagine it must be exhausting.

Yes good sleeps

With kids waking me at all hours of the night, husband home in days and working nights, occasionally dozing off with kids in the day. I'm lucky I know what my name is most of the time, lol. And to answer your initial question, I feel most alive when I get up early before all the kids and can plan my day a little, get a prayer or 2 in and have my tea and some peace and quiet. All 30 seconds of it until a kid hears me and wakes up too, lol.

I think people without kids probably don't know what the true meaning of tired is (☉｡☉)!

Sometimes

I like skiing, I feel most alive when I'm skiing and at a point where I'm fully committed and there is no turning back.

Unrelated to skiing, I woke up middle of an operation once. I had no idea of the time or place I was in. My eyes were taped shut and I was intubated, I was instinctively trying to sit up.

The doctor said my name, where I was, what was happening, not to move. I remember feeling relieved after hearing and understanding what the doctor was saying, then relaxing and laying back down knowing I was in good hands.

I went skiing once when I was a kid and that was on artificial snow, so I'm not sure that counts. I'd like to go skiing in Andorra at some point in my life.
Not sure how I would handle waking up in the middle of an operation, the thought of it is a bit terrifying. Sounds like you're a bit of a thrill seeker :)

Yes, artificial snow counts. Just a guess, maybe that place you went has one of these lifts. Riding a poma or T-bar is actually a great way to learn some of the important skills. There is something about the unpredictability of a surface lift, the unexpected stops, starts, lurching from speeding up or slowing down that hones your reactions like no other part of skiing. Surface lifts are kind of rare in the US these days, I learned at a small mountain in Maine that has them.

Peace.
