It's not winning the race that's important it's the journey along the way that defines us

Recently my fiance and I have taken up bike riding, we have actually been doing this for the past few months and we love it. I love it even though he passes me up and rides ahead because I have short legs and well lets face it "short people have no reason to live" LOL that's a song by the way before you get your panties in a bunch. Anyway where I was going with this is while he zooms ahead of me I just chill and take it all in, the smells ,the scenery and the people I encounter. I absolutely love it all, I feel free and at peace like I never have before.

This weekend we toured the Trinity and rode about 15 miles. It wasn't a lot but it was fun, we stopped along at The Trailhead Farmers Market that cyclists can access from the trail and purchased fresh local honey, fresh squash and other wares. While I was riding I saw people from all walks of life. There were children with their moms running around, handicapped people playing sports, there were old couples, hippies, asian, germans, so much diversity. We need to stop squabbling amongst ourselves and celebrate each others cultures, strengths etc,,,,It's refreshing to get outside of that little square box we put ourselves in inadvertantly.

That brings me to this , we need to get out and experience life, it is not going to find you while you sit behind the T.V staring blankly watching the latest Housewives of whatever  reality T.V. show is on, because the reality is right outside your door. You just have to open it and step out ,breathe the air and move forward. Trust me you will be so glad you did, because life is not about the destination, but how you get there that defines you. Enjoy your life.....
