THanks for the reminder...
Thanks Knotted and Geonz!!! I felt really silly getting mad last night when I saw my name excluded from the newsletter, but being a ride leader at our club involves putting a route(s) together (our has three different lengths from 18 to 65 miles), marking the routes with painted Dan Henrys, preparing a map, buying food and supplies for 100 plus riders, getting everybody signed in the day of the ride, and manning two SAG stops along the way for the duration of the ride. This was the first time we'd done a ride and it was, quite frankly, like herding cats. So, I was sort of peeved (sniff, sniff) that everyone else got thanked but me.
The good news is that I'll live!!!!
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
