I'm not sure if anyone knows what I'm talking about, but a while ago, I think somebody on here linked to a website that listed why we love to skate. The reason I want to see it is for inspiration, one of my secondaries asks me to talk about something meaningful, and I figure figure skating is something different, and it is important to me, I just can't seem to get the right words out. (I also know somebody who wrote about the Yankees and how horrible he felt after they lost the World Series, so non-medical stuff isn't that taboo to write about). Anyway, if somebody knows that web page I'm talking about, or has any way to get me to write down what I want, I'd really appreciate it.

Why I skate:

1. Skating talks to my spirit.
2. Gives me a place to be just me and not a mom and wife. Love these "jobs", but a place to get away is a good thing.
3. Challenges. Lots of challenges!
4. Exercise.
5. Friends of all ages.
6. I like flying. =-)
7. I like the feeling when things are HARD or scare the heck out of me and I try anyway. The best is when there NOT hard anymore.

I could go on forever......I just love it.

Are you looking for responses, or for the actual website?

Well, I would like the actual website, because I remember there were a few things on there that were so eloquently written that I wanted to use to get the ideas from. (Don't worry, I wasn't going to copy it, just see how somebody else put down something into words). But any ideas are welcome also, I need all the help I could get.
