It is my passion and it is my favorite sport. It is the activity that I almost always engage in to help me deal with my stresses, anxieties, and challenges. It is the sport that I love to dream about. Why, it is skating!
When it comes to skating, there are no barriers for me. I learned to skate like any other Canadian kid and I kept it close to my heart for so many years. When I had enough vision to skate on my own, it was my joy, my passion, and my everything. I used to adore those blinking Christmas lights practically smiling at me as I skated outdoors at Christmas time and I just loved to feel the cold fresh wind on my cheeks and blowing through my hair as I skated around. Oh how I loved to smell the freshness of a winter’s night, skating outdoors and feeling the crisp ice beneath my skates.
With precious little vision left these days, I still love to skate, no barriers for me. The smell of an indoor rink, the smooth glassy ice under my skates, and my friends skating alongside me, with me holding onto their arm. Ah yes, no barriers to skating!
