Reacquainted Part II

And now I have officially rekindled my love of biking. Road biking that is. I'm not sure I "love" mountain biking, or trail riding, but I'm sure I'll try it again this spring and summer. As previously mentioned, I do want to overcome that fear.

But back to the road biking. It was, again, 65 degree weather and my training for work let out at about 3 this afternoon. I debated taking another jog but thought I would hop on my bike and determine the length of the jogging path. Turns out, the odometer on my bike is broken. What a disappointment. Good news is, I still enjoyed the ride

This is also an old photo of Lori and I this past spring/summer.

Shae, Jay, and chillin' said...: I love Colorado. You have the cold and the snow, but then interspersed with weater that is warmer than Alabama! We are not in the 60's right now. Glad you got out and enjoyed the warm weather.; February 5, 2009 at 6:57 PM
Harmony said...: OK enough with the good weather already. I'm totally jealous. I NEED spring to hurry and come my way before I go crazy!!!; February 5, 2009 at 9:32 PM
Lynda/Mom said...: I have been absolute craving a bike ride. Mine has been out of commission too long, and the tires apparently can't be rehabilitated. Replacing them is a big commitment, so my craving goes unsatisfied. I'll have to get on it when the weather improves. Aunt Lynda; February 6, 2009 at 12:50 AM

Words of Wisdom

“I don’t want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk’s lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor’s children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone’s garden. I want to be there with children’s sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.”

-Marjorie Hinckley

"There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and, after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second."

-Logan Pearsall Smith

"Sometimes we fill our lives with hobbies or pursuits that produce more immediate rewards. If we aren't careful, we start to resent our children and see them as obstructions to the things that bring us real pleasure. The key is to discover pleasure in our children--to make them central, to genuinely value them during the relatively short time that they are in our home. The day will come that you will be free to spend whole days any way you want-- you can travel, go to school, or go in your room and shut the door. But today, you are a mother."
-Jane (from blog Asking Jane)

"Never forget that these little ones are the sons and daughters of God and that yours is a custodial relationship to them, that He was a parent before you were parents and that He has not relinquished His parental rights or interest in these little ones."
-President Gordon B. Hinckley

"Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand."
-Thomas Carlyle
