Bike Adventure


Yesterday I decided to take a long bike ride just like I used to do.  It felt so good to just be out in the fresh air and sunshine!
As soon as I reached Calhoun village ( and 8.17 miles) and sat down to rest a bit, I saw an old friend that I hadn't seen in quite a while.  We had some coffee and got caught up on all the current happenings. It was a good time, and so, on my way back home, I decided to snap a few photos of one of my favorite bike paths, just to share the beauty of my wonderful morning.

Spring

Hello again, people!
Once again, I am battling this thing called coronary heart disease. March 28 was the day my chest pains were so bad I could not walk to the end of the block. "D, call 911, I'm going in again!"

And now, after a few weeks of cardiac rehab (thank God I have insurance!) and an appointment with my cardiologist, I am once again starting on the road to increased fitness.

Spring is a time of renewal, of brushing away the dead, leftover crap to let the freshness come through. I think this is my time to re assess what's important to me, my partner, and the rest of my life. I guess life is an ongoing struggle for us all, and either I can learn who I am and what I want, or I can be blind and distracted.  I choose to go the tougher route, and open my eyes.

I grew up in a barbershop

I grew up in a barbershop that my dad owned. Every day, my mom would get up and get me ready for school. I would watch Bugs Bunny cartoons...
