Circus Queen, yes, this is probably not the best time to start learning to skate. But I can't recommend it enough once you're able to try it! It's fantastic exercise and so much fun.

SK, where do I sign up for your chapter? Does membership come with sparkle-wear?

It's fantastic that you're fully throwing yourself into this. I'd planned to step out on the rink for the first time this winter then found out I was pregnant and decided it might not be such a great idea. I'll take your cue and go for it next year for sure though!

WOW. I am totally saluting you right now. And no, I don't mean the old one-fingered salute (which I'm a whole lot more well-known for) but a genuine, I-Do-Not-Have-the-Balls-Nor-the-Ankle-Strength-To-Do-That, undying-respect-forever kind of salute.

HOO-AH.

XOXOXOXO

What a beautiful image and story you have created here. It reminds me of how one of my best friends describes ice skating. I am so happy that you are doing this for yourself :)

I love, love LOVE that you are doing this! I have fantasies about skating (no, I haven't done it); gliding effortlessly across the gleaming smooth ice....

As part of our never-ending efforts to assimilate - and three of the children ARE Canadian, after all - we built an ice rink in the back yard this year. I bought the eldest three secondhand skates and sent them out there. Naturally, they can skate. How can that be?!

Oh! I am so happy for you! I hope it continues to ...

Beautiful, MommyTime. I had skating lessons when I was a girl and I was pretty good, too, until puberty hit. I seem to have lost pretty much all my athleticism at that point. Now I am wobbly and uncertain on skates, too afraid to break myself, I suppose. So happy that you have found your wings again. Thanks for taking me along for the ride in my imagination.
