Elina and I were talking ... something we girls never do:}
We were talking about times in our lives when skating really did save us. Then I was thinking about the Elton John song, SOMEONE SAVED MY LIFE TONIGHT, and I looked up why he wrote it, apparently after an attempted suicide, [I know this is going to be a bit heavy but hang on because I really want to express gratitude for being able to skate and have "skating", as part of my life]. Not just the act of skating it self but we feel so lucky to belong to the skating WORLD:} Elina is a little more pumped at times then I am but the other day I left the rink after practice a changed women. I went in the building dragging my "sorry ass", and came out smiling ready to take on the world we live in, politics, climate, family, money, fakers, realists, advertising, pot holes, heat, frost, jealousy, ETC. ETC. ETC... from the King & I:}
Elina and I are going to share our top five list with you and let me tell you the list is very personal and real, except we were going to do our top ten list but that got super heavy:{
