One Big Rink

Daily writing prompt
If you could relive one day from your past, which day would it be and why?

It’s really difficult to narrow it down to one. I guess I’ll go with a day during winter when the whole pond near our house was like glass, totally skateable across its entire length and width. Those conditions were rare, but when they happened, it was a day like no other. My brother and I both called out from work the last time it happened while we were still living at home.

We’d lace up, grab a stick and a puck, and skate until we could hardly stand. There was nothing quite like that. It was exhilarating. Such freedom of movement, total joy.
