    Wow, it's cold out there... good job on riding to treatment. I hope you're not riding today. Of course, I know those of you with studded tires keep right on going.
    It's great that you can be a good role model for the retirees and the receptionist. Hopefully, you'll inspire one of them.

    No riding for me today! My lbs even canceled today's ride. Studs aren't great in this kind of heavy snow, so I've been lounging with gusto. I did walk to to get supplies earlier, and that was fun, but now I'm hunkering down with the kitties. Life is good.

    redrhodie-

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again - you attitude is such an inspiration You really are amazing! I hope that your enthusiasm encourages those you encounter through this process to change their lives for the better.

    There are a few people on TE (you included) who routinely inspire me - and I very much appreciate it!

    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.

    Indeed! Reading of your commuting adventures during the winter is causing me to think about trying it when the weather warms...you are indeed one of my heroes!

    Aw, thanks, but I still stand firmly a slacker, and part of that is living by Maillot Pois' tagline, which I think is something like "if it's easy make it easier, and if it's hard, don't do it." I got that right?

    Luckily it's not hard; not like learning to ride a bike at 50. But if you get anything from this, I hope it's that it is so easy because I caught it early. If I had to go through more surgery and chemo, I wouldn't be so glib.

    Oh, and the commute is shorter than my regular one to work, so even there I'm slacking off. I usually ride more than this.

    What a slacker!
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.
