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!

I’m afraid of falling so I sit on the sidelines watching the beautiful ole-school skaters. You sacrificed yourself to show a kid it’s ok to fall. Blessings!

Yeah, I can’t do that to a child. I just can’t. I’d rather I fall and potentially hurt myself than for a child to fall and hurt themselves.
Now, had it been an adult?! It would’ve been a free for all to keep myself from falling or having them fall on me.

That’s so great! I wish I could still skate, but my knees scare me too bad and my husband forbids it, lol. I’m like the million dollar woman with all my replaced parts, lol!

Haha. Sounds like you’re the Bionic Woman! LOL! He’s probably telling you correctly. I love it, and one of my brothers has picked it back up, too from seeing my photos and reading or hearing about my stories, and he wants me to skate with him. However, he lives in Jacksonville, FL, so that’s going to be a while, but best believe I intend to skate with him 🙂

Skating is great fun. My custom-made skates (for my super-wide feet) were lost on the way to Australia, so I haven’t skated in years. Enjoy for me.
