While rink closures are necessary to help stop the spread of the Coronavirus and thus not overwhelm our health care systems, it is still understandably difficult for all of us. I thought it would be nice to share what we all miss the most about skating and what we are looking forward to when we are able to return.
For me the thing I miss the most is how I feel when I'm skating- as someone who has struggled with depression, skating is the one thing I do where no matter how I am feeling everything else goes away. It brings me so much joy. Beyond that the friendships I have made through skating are invaluable and I value the personal challenge of working to improve and how rewarding it is when you accomplish something you've worked really hard at.
I look forward to everyone's answers. Remember- we will skate again!
