skating pitfalls

Yesterday, a few of my coworkers and I went skating. We had a blast! During a nasty turn around the rink’s edge, a young one (probably no more than 12 years old) cut in front of me. I am an old-school skater, so I slowed down some, bear-hugged him, and turned so my body could hit the rink’s floor–and he could fall on me.

I spent most of the night in a lavender Epsom salt bath, and it was definitely worth it. I’ll be skating again next Sunday. I always have so much fun, but the children on the floor never cease to amaze me. They’re daredevils, weaving in and out of traffic, falling everywhere and around anyone. It’s really quite a sight!

Happy Sunday, beautiful people! Do something that brings you joy today.
