Inspiration

Well. I've got plenty of friends.

Transitgrrrl (see post below) actually wrote another post. I encouraged her to start her own blog. I'll link her here when she gets up and running. If I run out of ideas, I'll post her update soon. But I'm hoping she'll get her but going fast.

Buck Nekkid started his own blog, too. Thoughtsthatrunbetweentwoears is Buck's take on the world, started as an outlet (like so many of the rest of us) during a somewhat turbulent time in his life. Today's post was really nice, so please check it out.

Me? I get inspired for things I want to tell you about all the time. Yesterday, I finally broke down and brought a sweet new bike. I finally took it for a ride today. STBX was here and smirked that I spent money. He has no idea how important succeeding at this is for me. I really wish I didn't have to be around him so often.

Riding outside is a new kind of freedom for me. I can't wait to kick that hill's ass on Thursday and again on Saturday. It IS all about the bike. Lance was wrong. I bet he couldn't get up that freakin' hill on my old bike.

Tonight I end in a really reflective mood. It is like I'm checking things off a list in my head and each time I place a check mark, I'm a little more content. I've got a routine, I've got my boys, I have kickball, tri training, my friends....I'll looking forward to the next several weekends of fantastic summer fun.

Content. Exhalllllle. This is what it's all about, and the bumps? They're not so bad.
