I'm going back to skating i noticed after I stopped skating I got old started to feel joint problems now at 63 years young I feel little pains In the morning when I get up I feel stiff until I move around then it leaves. .
      So that means if I skate regular my aches and pains will go away. 😁🤸‍♂️🤸‍♀️ It's a new day 🤸‍♂️Time to tighten up my core back to when I was a rock hard skating machine!!! Start and Pass the work Let's Go!!!

      I have to correct you on one thing. Roller skating is not making a come back, it never left you just stopped skating. This goes on every month and these type of events travel from state/city to city. get connected if you want to skate.

    I will never again say “I’m getting to old for this/or that”! You know this country “America” is a master at having you old before your time! 70; oh put ‘em in a senior home till they rot away! I go to countries around the world where people are in their 90’s & 100’s in their right minds, working around the house and holding intelligent conversations! Don’t let anyone or anything dictate your life’s expectancy; every breath you take is precious and a gift! Live your life to its fullest and give a little back to help others along the way!

    Back in the day my mother walked us to skating rink every weekend, AND after school we used to skate up and down the streets of my hood. I dropped my kid and niece off at the skating rink a couple of weeks ago, and when I went back to pick them up they said it was so boring. When I saw all the kids on their phones (including them) and so disconnected from one another, I understood why it was so boring.🤦🏾‍♀️
