The Rolling Entry Four

Greetings beautiful people!

9th April, 2017 - Sunday

As I had already mentioned in my previous posts on 'Wheels' about me being sick, I shall not write much about that now. I feel a little better today.

I put on the skates today and practiced in my little room. I also learned the mechanics of the wheels, lubricated them a little. I did the usual to and fro walking on skates, and tried turning around in huge circles. I must tell that it's getting better and better. I would want to take it out someday, but as of now practicing at home is quite convenient. Hopefully, I'll be able to practice more tomorrow.

That's all folks!

Yours lovingly,

I am feeling a little alright today. The fever is gone, but the throat pain is still there, but feeling much better than yesterday. The practice happened in my little room, and I was actually happy because the floor was smooth and I just kept rolling. I did practice my 'stop' on the wheels, I did stumble a few times but it was all well. I know that I have a long way to go. My dream of rolling will just remain a dream if I refuse to practice. No matter how slow this journey is, I will savour every minute of it!

That's all folks!

Welcome to read my second entry on Wheels.

I am feeling a little under the weather today, there's a running temperature and an inflamed larynx, but I did put on the skates for the sake of this entry.

It was the usual place, the terrace, and of course with Murfy as my spectator. Today, I realized something about 'going slow'. I practiced the to and fro walk a few times, and I wanted to speed it up a little, and I did stumble. This kept me thinking about a lot of things, and an old proverb came in handy today - "Slow and steady wins the race". Though I had practiced walking with the skates on, it wasn't enough. The to and fro walk on skates is the elementary lesson but a must, because it increases your stamina, and the legs get used to staying on the wheels for long. I went back to repeating the previous day's lesson, just walking with the skates on. I may put them on again later in the day if I am a little alright.

That's all folks!

Yours lovingly,

The Rolling Entry One

Greetings to all my dear lovely readers!

This is probably the first time I have come up with an online journal that takes and shares accounts of my experience with WHEELS. I shall be sharing some of my thoughts and experiences that I encounter while practicing Roller-Skating. I really don't know what form are these entries going to take, but I'll try my best to make an entry as often as possible. And I hope to get your support, love and encouragement as always.

Let's get started!

4th April, 2017 - Tuesday

Well, I had a pair of double-line roller skates when I was in school, but I bought a new pair just last month, and have been practicing at home. I don't have enough space but I make do with whatever little space is available. Since I have always wanted to learn roller skating, I somehow learned to balance on the wheels, I can pretty much walk with the skates on. Trust me, I didn't go to any classes. It happened like more of a trial and error method. Let me also tell you one more thing, I still haven't had a 'fall' - fingers crossed!

Today's practice was the very basic ones, with the skates on, I just walked forward and backward. I tried to push the skates a little on one leg by kicking off the other, and I am slowly getting used to it. It was actually fun to practice in the early morning hours, under the young rising sun. Murfy accompanied me by just watching me practice. She sat on her broad throne (the solar panel cell-board) and watched me as I rolled away. Looking at the birds, and practicing all alone with no teacher but only the un-quenched thirst growing more to learn a new skill was/is all I had/have. About two hours of just walking to and fro on skates was enough for the day, and that almost completes today's entry.

Well, who knows, I might put the skates on again and just walk in my little room!

That's all for now, and I hope to make daily entries, which obviously will ask me to practice daily. Let's see, with all the other works and studies, I am not sure about the daily practice, but I will be certain enough that I practice the skating very often and write my little experiences.

That's all folks!

Yours lovingly,
