Saturday Ride

So there are a few sprinkles today...and this way funny smell outdoors, like we're near a paint factory or something odd...

Maybe my nostrils have suddenly become elderly...could be I have reached a critical mass in years and they just don't work like they used to? Hmmmm.

Tomorrow we bike. And then, of course, MANDATORY post ride carbs and brew. While I have not read SEVEN tomes in the last few months like my buddy, gb, I have been visualizing a more peaceful, calm and satisfying way to really enjoy chocolate. I will share more once my experiment proves successful. Just remember, there CAN be JOY in research!

Another Year Older.....

Birthday cakes are everywhere! Check out the Ronneblog this morning too! (Thanks for the inspiration!)

Before I head out to celebrate the big day....here are a few things I've learned:

1. Chocolate is perfectly acceptable for breakfast when accompanied by strong, black coffee (ummm umm!)
2. It's important to be patient...(I realize it, I see it, it's just that....I have an ARIES moon! I mean come ON!)
3. Leadership is learned in the most unusual places...and often when least expected
4. Kindness is always your best bet (even if you must be STERN about it)
5. Cry when you need to
6. Laugh often
7. Love will save the day, even when you think there is no such thing as love. In reality, it's all there is!

Have a piece of cake today...preferably chocolate!
