I almost quit skating yesterday.
I woke up and just didn’t want to skate anymore so I told my husband I was quitting skating and took my dogs for a walk.
While walking I fell off the sidewalk and as I’m falling I’m thinking “I shouldn’t be losing my balance I’m a figure skater..but wait I quit.. I’m going to fall all the time now…falling isn’t that bad…” and then my face hit the pavement!
So after tending to my wounds (as confirmed by my mother I got my first skinned knee!) I checked my horoscope, which I think always pertains to skating, and it said:
Tue, 3 Jan 2012 for TAURUS (Apr 21 -May 21): “In order to get something that you want you have to do something that you don’t much feel like doing. No change there then. This is Planet Earth -intergalactic spiritual home of the awkward compromise. You give a little here, you take a little there and, with a bit of luck, you get just about enough to make it all worthwhile. Right now, you want to know whether to put energy into a certain plan. It looks as if it could prove very exhausting and demanding. But if you want to get what you want from 2012, you should most definitely pursue it.”
So now I’m all excited to skate! I just have to wait a few days because I sprained my upper arm in the fall and can’t tie my skates (or put on a bra or wash my hair, or drive. I’m pretty much Bob Dole for a week.) but I’m for sure not quitting skating. I just needed to fall in the street to knock some sense into me.
