Do More Of What You Love
Have you ever noticed that the time you spend while doing something you love just flies by like the wind. This is just a simple fact of nature and the only cure is to do more of the thing in which you love. Compounded with this principal theory is that as one gets older in life, the shorter in which one has to live it. Put it in simple terms; when you were young, a week was forever. The older you get the shorter a week becomes. This is your subconscious telling you that time is not an everlasting commodity. No matter where I ride, I find that my trip is too short. Hopefully I will ride till I am old and wrinkly but in the mean time I shall cherish those positive moments and strive to never forget them. This theory transcends the ride and is true no matter where ones passions lie. Find a place for those wondrous moments. Those memories may be just twinkles of light in our lives but they have the power to brighten any dark place.

bobskoot, I hope you made it back to where ever you were going. If all else fails pee in your gas tank!!
ReplyDeleteWell that may not be the best advice I have ever given....
You are so right about this! This past weekend for me was spent hiking the AT in NC! It was amazing to be back amongst the tall trees, drinking from streams, to feel the weight of the pack on my back and the burn in my calves. Only two nights in the wilderness didn't quite complete my fix! On Sunday, we got back in the car, drove for four hours and arrived home to 2 happy kids- it was a good reality to which to come back.
ReplyDeleteAs I get older, I am finding that the key to enjoying more of these "moments" in life is forcing myself to incorporate them into the everyday...no matter how small they are. I have my "have to" list and my "want to" list. I try and do at least one thing from my "want to" list each day (go for a run, sew, write, read, paint etc...). Maybe, you could incorporate going by yourself or taking one of the boys for a ride around the block each evening...in the meanwhile, I'm so glad to see that you continue to have such an awesome passion for life!
Hay old friend, it is good to hear from you and welcome to MFA...You are wise beyond your years sister and glad that you and yours were able to hit the AT.
