Venturing Out To the Ice

I skated around the rink third day doing laps, when my skates first hit the ice and had myself a little mishap. I did not let that stop me got back up on my feet, tried a hockey stick for balance with the ice, my ass did greet. I was able to skate a little faster with every lap I made, tried to get it into my head that I shouldn't be afraid. I was almost done for the day wanted to make myself feel brave, decided to cut across the middle no boards around me to be saved. I felt proud of myself today but my legs still felt like jello, still being too scared to fall it'd be nice to finally be mellow. Copyright Cynthia Jones Nov.19/2015
