- Roller Coaster...

(Geauga Lake Roller Coaster, which opened in 1888)

Do you enjoy roller coasters?

I did when I was a kid...

I would climb into my seat and tell the lady, 10 times please...

And around and around I would go, up, down, upside down,
stomach in my throat, hair everywhere

I loved it

I was a do gooder, a rule follower,
kindness first, and I loved being in control,

sooo not the traits of someone who road roller coasters
you would think

But I loved it

It was my moment of recklessness in a safe, controlled environment
(at least that is what I told myself)

I am not going to make this a heavy post this morning 

(I will let you think about which metaphors that a roller coaster can represent in your own life)

Today I wish I was 9 again, screaming and laughing on that crazy big red roller coaster that I used to ride

Live today like you are 9

Have a Blast Today

No coasters for me please. When I was 9 I was building bigger and bigger bicycle jumps. Ironically coasters would probably have been safer.

Considering your hosiptal stay after taking those jumps... I think I am going to stick with the Rollercoaster!

(fyi - you still take those jumps to this day, you are too funny)
