lucky
last night's ride started out with a 'last supper' sort of feel with the impending snowstorm and blast of cold on the way. the first 30 minutes were melancholy...part because of the snow and part because of the long ride on tuesday. at about 30 minutes i thought 'screw this, i'm out on the bike now...i'm lucky'. the rest of the ride, i jammed through the different trails open this time of the year thinking about just how fortunate i really am.
the fact the i can ride, run, play...lucky. there are so many people with reasons not to. physical reasons, no voice in the back of their mind screaming at them to train. no motivation. i think the last one is the most sad. youth, fitness, vitality is a gift. so many people throw that gift to the ground, stomp on it and go in to watch television.
but there is so much more for which i'm fortunate. my lovely wife. my family-though they can drive me crazy from time to time. robin's family. our house. our jobs. laughter. the list goes on. point being? well, i'm lucky. and if you're reading this, odds are your a part of that. thanks.
and at the end of the ride, as i pulled up to the house...warm lights shining from within against the darkening skies, an indication that robin was home waiting for me...well, you know how i felt.
