Hi Jeannierides!
I remember you and your accident, and even your job. Good for you leaving it as it didn't sound good.
How delightful to see you back here on TE. Welcome back! I also stayed away from cycling for awhile after my own cycling accident and then my father's death (in a car accident) in 2005, but it is such a passion of mine I couldn't stay away forever. Hope you enjoy restarting riding your lovely Lily!
Best wishes,
Emily

Hi Jeannie, it's good to see you back (it's Velobambina, aka Mickchick). I was thinking about you not too long ago, wondering how you were doing. We all deserve a break. Hope you rediscover your love of riding. ENJOY your vacation!!

Welcome back! I remember your accident. Sometimes physically and mentally it takes a long time to get back to where you are ready to try again. Ease in, smile and have fun! Have a great vacation.

Thank you all so very much!! It brings tears to my eyes to read your thoughtful posts.
Emily, I remember your accident also, and your dad's death... Glad to hear you are back to your bike. Margo, I was just looking the other day at the lovely coffee table book on Israel that you sent... Selkie, I was just going through my books the other day, and am passing on some of those you sent while I was in rehab... Someone else to read and love... Amanda & Beth, great to see you.
Lily and I are planning to go out with my SO and his Colnago tomorrow (his birthday). I have mixed feelings, but he is already planning a ride in Jamestown (Williamsburg) on
Tuesday with his group... Not sure if I'm ready for that... We'll see. I want to get the love back... Have fun and laugh...
Oh, Emily, it definitely was past time to leave the job... It was the right decision. At some point, I'm going to have to find another one, but for now, I'm going to enjoy the reprieve.
Will try to post more... You gals are inspiring!
