I realized I was letting myself be afraid of falling again – no good!  So I decided to try jumping up & down in my skates to boost my confidence & prove I could do it.  Besides, if I fell I would realize that falling really isn’t that big of a deal when you’re wearing your pads (something I keep forgetting the longer I go without falling).

My friend Bellacose Blondie reminded me that “it’s all in the knees”.  So I went home, got suited up & did it.  I did it!  Lots of little hops, bending my knees on the landing – totally nailed it!
