The first thing our teacher taught us in Adult Beginning Ice-Skating tonight was how to fall. "It's best," she said, "not to tense up but to fall like a sack of potatoes, preferably on your butt." This week I met with Maggie, my Al-anon sponsor, for the first time, and after giving me an assignment, she said wryly, "Mess it up. Do it wrong." I fell at least five times while skating this evening, one time spectacularly. Without embarrassment. Didn't even care what other skaters thought. (Okay, that last fall, a little bit.) That's amazing for me.
