Return of a Champion

in roller •  8 years ago 

Skates are laced tight, warm up is over. It's time to take the floor.......
It's been 49 years since I last skated on the oofficial national roller skating floor. Wow am I really here? Everything seems so different. I stopped skating for 40 years and only returned 9 months ago. OK ready but, solo dance is very different then team dance. I sure pray I don't fall. Oh here goes, they are calling my name now!

Oh this feels wonderful, I'm home, live organ music, yes 1 2 3, 1 2 3. Push, smile, glide. I love to waltz. Push, stretch, watch your pattern, cross, do it again. Yes this is where I belong. The music fills the air and I'm floating across the floor.

I did it! Well I didn't win, like I did years ago, but I'm back. That all happened last August. I've been practicing harder. Just wait till August 2017. I may not win, but you will know I was there.
