Day 12: Roller Skating!

Today's foray into the happy field was facilitated by the birthday party for the son of a dear friend. We have not seen much of each other in the past few years, but nonetheless, we are able to pick up where we last left off and have reconnected. Not only have I reconnected with this friend, but another friend too. The three of us for some time were like the three Musketeers and were always together getting into some sort of adventure or another. It feels nice to be home for the first time in a while. I missed the trio something fierce and did not realize how much until today.

After the first half of the party, we did something for the second half of the party that I have not done for over 20 years: Rollerskating. The roller rink had two options for rentals: roller blades or old school skates. Being a retro kind of girl, and having not laced up proper skates for so long (20+ years) I decided to go old school. It was funny, I did not remember roller skating being such hard work. I managed to try and teach the twins for a few spins around the rink and we had a ball doing the "Hokey Pokey."

Hope you are finding little things to make you smile and remember that there is a silver lining in every cloud.
