Cruising

For a while I've been asking God to help me find an activity I genuinely enjoy. I remember a time when I moved my body just for the joy of moving my body. Dance used to be my only outlet in that regard. I've never had to talk myself into attending a dance class. I go because I love it. Similarly, I've never had to push myself in a dance class. I work hard because that's what dance class requires. Because dance class only happens once each week, it wasn't really filling the fitness void in my life.

While on vacation last week in Isle of Palms, SC, I discovered a love for bike riding. From the moment we returned I've been desperate to purchase a bike and was ELATED to purchase one on Saturday. Since picking it up Sunday morning, I've wanted nothing more than to spend all my time on my new bike.

Unfortunately, I'm unable to cruise all day and all night. My butt gets sore and my legs get tired. I'm an old lady and can only take a good ride once a day.

Tomorrow is a work day so I won't be able to head over to the bike path until after business hours. I'm already looking forward to it. I'm excited to get back to the bike path tomorrow not because I'll get a great workout, but because I love riding my bike. This discovery is such an amazing gift for which I am thankful beyond words.
