Yes, this needs to be my mantra, to "ride for fun", (though it's not fun right now, it's a chore and a half to get myself squeezed into riding clothes, on my bike, drive down the mtn, etc)... but I have faith it will be fun again, perhaps soon, riding FROM HOME, like I always dreamed of. Thank you.
