It Wasn't The Superbowl But....

For me it was one sweet milestone! I found myself on roller blades this past weekend! Yes me on roller blades!!!! I had a blast. Now mind you this was one of my goals. I haven't been on skates in many years, about 20 of them. I was scared to death, and didn't do very well, but it was still fun. As I was practicing, my son and daughter came up behind me, each of them took one of my arms and took off so fast. All they said was come on mom you can do it. The problem was they weren't watching where they were taking me and I found out just how flexible I really am. My feet went out from under me I had one leg straight out in front and the other up under my back. I heard my knee crack, felt pain in my thigh and yet I some how managed not to break anything. I actually got up by myself, and the three of us went around the rink a few times them holding my hands, so I wouldn't fall. We had so much fun. I can't wait to do it again! I wasn't even sore the next day, must be from all the walking. Just thought I would share my experience with you all. God bless, Annette

Annette i can so relate to how you feel. When i was young i speed skated, could do every trick under the sun. Well in 2002 my neice had her birthday party at the skating rink, and i wanted to skate. When i tried, the wheels kept clicking cause i was too heavy, i couldn't even stand up....i was so bummed for so long. So in December my girls wanted to have their birthday parties at the rink, and i let them. I put the skates on, and off i went, just like when i was young..i was so happy and had so much fun, only falling once. I skated the most that day, and when we all went home everyone of them was sore, but not me. we now go once a month at least, it's great exercise. I'm glad you had such a great time, may there be many more wow moments ahead for you. Hugs Linda

Hi Linda, I'm glad you decided to try it again. We plan on doing this more often. I'm going to buy my own blades this weekend. I can't wait until next time. God bless you, Annette

Annette that sounds like so much fun being able to rollerblade and have a good time with your kids. I am glad that you are feeling better and being able to be active and enjoying life. Hugs Tricia

Hi Tricia, Thank you. We had so much fun, even if I didn't skate all that well. The more I do it the better I'll get. Life is improving, along with my health. God bless you, Annette

OH Annette that is so awesome, That is what this is AAALLLL about. Congratulations girl you deserve it!!!! God Bless....Toni

Hin Toni, Life is good! At least getting better. What a difference a year or two makes. It wasn't that long ago that all I did, all day long, day in and day out was to lay on the couch, because I could'nt move without hurting so much. I can't wait to see what the next year will bring. God bless you, Annette
