Lighten Up While You Still Can, Don't Even Try to Understand

Blessed to acknowledge the simple and beautiful things in life...



New canvas ballet shoes. Dance notes. Sleeping cats. Alley cats that seek shelter from the storm. Super Dank. Little friends that sit next to me in the booth, drinking soda from a wine glass and eating french fries. Neighbors that care. Habits being forgotten. Whip rolls?! Chamois butter. Sunday morning ballet class. A great base tan. Sunscreen. Proper tools. How to fall over during wind gusts...in 5 o'clock traffic. How to ride with one arm, safely. Multi-tasking on the trainer. Long flat roads. Granny gear for those not so flat roads. Clipped in and out of the saddle. Getting schooled in how to crash properly. Purple casts. Night rides. Long rides followed by red wine, energy bites and bare feet. Classes on buttery hubs, headsets, bottom brackets, cables and housing...and...most importantly, how to fix a flat tire! Being able to lace and true my own wheels. Riding to class, checking out Treefort, and having breakfast with new friends. Time and circumstance. Things working out just as they should. Hitch bolts. Friends with boxes. Smiles from the car door. V8 Juice. BBQ with family. Friends being recognized for a job well done. Coffee in an oversized mug. A group hug to end the week...every week! Music. Hot tub time machines. Simple offers of love that come from an outstretched hand in the car. Friends having job interviews. Hello Fresh meals. Chaco tan lines! Afternoon beer with the neighbors on a sunny Saturday. 10 Barrel. Dinner with mom. Dancers that practice. Vintage tights! Practice charts. Opportunities in Vale, Oregon. Pointe Shoe fittings...for the first time! Adventure Cycling maps. Sun. Friends that care. Brothers help. Moms love.
