My husband was out on his bike during the flood that hit central/southern Indiana a few years ago and has emphasized just how quickly an area can flood to the point of real danger. I remember that day pretty vividly myself and was shocked at how quickly things went from seemingly normal to disastrous. I would hate to have been in the middle of it on a bike.
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.
