Hey Smiling! Thanks for reading. So you're a fellow ex-gymnast huh? How far did you go with it? I was a big chicken and quit at 15 years old(I started at 5). I seemed to be perpetually in the middle of a growth spurt and totally not in control of my body. I ended up packing it in and doing spring board diving instead. In the end I quit that too after two years because of the fear factor. Yep big 'ol Cowardy Custard, that's me.
I'm still a coward, but my husband is such a bully, he makes me do stuff even if I'm too scared. He's a world champion sports acrobat and grew up in Soviet elite sport system. Saying "I'm too scared" doesn't work. He whips me till I can do it. Only joking...... sort of. No I'm joking
Anyway, back on track. I'm glad you read this and thanks very much for the lovely feedback. It's the first piece of mine you've read isn't it?
