I received this book several months ago. I grew up watching Scott Hamilton dance on ice and wanting to do that myself. He made it look so easy.

Then, regrettably, I decided to use mu pilits license. You know, I “pile it” here and then “pile it” there. It got lost in one of the piles.

I pulled it out this week and read through it very quickly. I enjoyed the story of why he started skating, his battles with cancers and his love for life.

Life was not always the smiling face we saw during the Olympics and Ice Capades. Health issues, relationship problems, miscommunications. But he persevered.

Learn how he faced life’s challenges and chose to be happy. Yes, happiness is a choice.  “Every day of your life, something or someone is going to throw something at you that will challenge your ability to rise above negativity.  It isn’t the events in your life that define you; it’s how you deal with them. (pg 91,92)

I found this book to be enjoyable, a fast read and very encouraging.
