Nine Months

Months... Nine of them. Long enough for a woman to grow a new life inside her. Long enough for several seasons of change to have come and gone.

It's been nine months since I took my first pedal strokes and learned to ride a bike at the age of thirty-five. I turn thirty-six in just under a month and reflect for a brief moment for all the steps I've made in coming this far and the joy I feel as my confidence grows each and every time I throw a leg over the bike.

Thanks so much to the wonderful TE friends! Looking forward to the next nine months and the possibilities the future holds

Congratulations on the milestone!!! It's amazing what we can achieve once we set our minds to it.

congrats I'm glad you learned!

Hi Shannon and happy 9 months anniversary! You're a testament that it's never to late to learn something new. I still remember the day when I was a child when I learned how to ride a bike! I remember the thrill and the feeling of accomplishment I got, and I imagine that your feelings might still be fresh. That's great and I hope that you have years more cycling ahead of yourself! Cheers.

I feel as if I've been learning with you, and you've been both a partner in learning and an inspiration. Thank you!
