Skate with Me: Meet Amy

My name is Anita Marie Young. My initials spell Amy and Amy is the name most people call me. I am 64 years old. I live in Rancho Cordova, which is an urban city east of Sacramento. I have one daughter and one granddaughter and two close friends. My friends would describe me as reserved. That’s not true, you just have to get to know me. I am a retired librarian. My camera and my personal library are my most prized material possessions. My granddaughter asked a question on New Year’s Eve that got me wondering what did I really want out of life at this time.

“Grams, are you too old to want a man to hold you and sleep in your bed at night?”

Rather than dwell on her question, I decided I wanted to roller skate. After thirty years I started to skate again. I wasn’t looking for anyone. I merely wanted to get in shape. A simple question has now lead me to a new way of being and someone to sleep in my bed.
