There they go, blowing in the wind, my inhibitions! I now understand what all those "talking heads" mean when they say the older you get the more you tend to enjoy your life. It's not that I didn't enjoy life in my teens, or twenties or thirties..good Lord no....in fact, my late teens and my twenties were some of the best years of my life.
Now in my forties, let me tell you, I've let go of some hang ups, remember I said 'some') and am trying to really live my life the way how I want my life to be.
I recently started riding a bike (cycling) again. Let me tell you, it's not been easy doing that! The last time I did, actually the first time I did, I blogged about it. The good thing is I haven't fallen off, I'm so careful and move quite gingerly, (in the beginning) or more carefully so as not to get hurt, or hurt anyone!LOL!
I've been bike riding, not on the street, no I'm not ready for that yet, but rather in and around our neighborhood complex and it's been a heck of a lot of fun! I've even upgraded to cruising! Let me tell you that is so much fun, didn't realise I could do that! My kids get a kick out of my childish delight!
My oldest came over to hang out. It got late and my youngest wanted to go riding. I said to her that it's really late, and asked her if she wasn't tired. After all the activities we did that day, an hour hike/walk, swimming for two hours - the pool, running around doing errands, she going outside to play, the girl is just crazy nuts, not tired!
So I said, you know what, why not, lets go for a couple of rounds! So the three of us went outside to put the pedal to the medal. There we were, the three of us, almost midnight and we were pedalling around the complex! There were a few people still hanging outside who must have thought we were crazy but I didn't care! The night was cool and the riding was fun. It was a perfect end to a perfect day!
