Roller derby

Yesterday I met my sister and we went roller-skating.  We didn’t go for us,  but soon it became about us.   We skated around as we did 30 years ago, we went back in time.   The games started and attempts at our old bag of tricks.  Tag on roller skates has to be done with reckless abandonment.  At some points it looked like a scene out of a Roller-skating derby, bodies littered the floor.    It only took one fall to remind myself that I am no longer 14 and bounce different, I bounce more like a bag of cement.   This is something I am going to do more of, living my life through the eyes of my inner child..  I am going to carry a few more bruises, but the infectious belly laughs are the reward.
