"A good friend is a connection to life - a tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in totally insane world." - Lois Wyse

I rode my bike to work this morning which turned

out to be more refreshing and appealing than I 

had even hoped. A great way to start the week.

Back from visiting with friends, I feel 

rejuvenated. A reoccuring theme is that

none of us planned to be exactly where we 

are - and maybe we aren't in our dream

situations/places - but we all recognize

the need to be content. Abraham Lincoln

said that "you are about as happy as you

make your mind up to be." Sometimes

happiness just falls in your lap, an 

unexpected blessing in the rush of life, but

a lot of times you have to choose to see the 

beauty and the joy around you. Letting it sink

in - breathing consciously so that it is sure

to fill your lungs. 

I think that is why I enjoyed the bike ride 

so much this morning, it forced me to 

breathe deep.
