enjoy evolved figured fun learned love lucky situation training trust worry
I've just kind of evolved in the way I think. I learned to just enjoy it. I feel really lucky to do what I do, be in the situation I'm in, and I love it. I'm going to have fun out there and trust my training and not worry, because I've figured out the worry doesn't help.
empty worry
It is a little empty without her here but I have my own things to worry about.
empty girls weird worry
It is a little weird without her here. It's kind of like me and all these little girls. It's a little empty without her here, but I've got some of my own things to worry about right now.
becoming perfect stop tried trying worry
I've always tried to be perfect. And I need to stop trying to be perfect and worry about becoming better.
bed enjoyed figured fun happen ice numerous performance seen training trust week worry
I really enjoyed the performance tonight, and I've had a whole week of unknowns, being in bed with the flu. Ice is slippery, and anything can happen to anybody. I have seen that at numerous events. I am going to have fun out there and trust my training and not worry. I have figured out that worry doesn't help.
afraid becoming confidence knowledge lack perfect perhaps stop trying weaknesses worry
My big weaknesses (in the past) have been a lack of preparation, a lack of knowledge and perhaps not enough confidence and afraid of mistakes. I need to stop trying to be perfect and just worry about becoming better.

If she's healthy and able to compete, she's definitely one of the strongest to compete for the United States at the Olympics.

I enjoyed the experience. I'm just really ecstatic to come out with a medal.
boxes gold national shoe special storage
I've always wanted a national title. I've got a lot of silvers in shoe boxes and storage units all over the place. I think the gold one will have a special place.
ready time
It can be frustrating, ... But I am where I am, and everyone has their own trajectory. I know my time will come. I just have to be ready for it.
checked excited fact gives jumps system weight works
It works well for my skating. I like the fact it gives weight to spins and jumps that were only checked off (under the 6.0 system). I'm really excited for the new system at Nationals.
icing means rewarded skate top
It's wonderful. It means so much to skate well, and then be rewarded on top of that is icing on the cake.
automatic found perfect pump robot searching
I still haven't found that automatic robot to pump out the perfect performances. That is something I am still searching for.
competition free strong time tonight
I'm going to take in tonight. It's a very strong competition. I'm going to take it one day at a time and do the same thing as I did tonight (in the free skate).
