Cycling inspiration

One quote that has always stuck in my mind over all these years on the bike especially during incredibly hard efforts: ‘It never gets easier, you just go faster’ -Greg Lemond

Hits close to home.

Dec 14, 2015 I lost my grandma. She was the most amazing woman whom lived to a lovely age of 91. She had a amazing life living all over the United States as well as Austria where she was a teacher and met her husband (my grandad, Lt Colonel, Army). Anyway I watched a commercial this morning that really did hit close to home because I have her dog now, 3-legged Rottweiler named Merry. Who has cancer and is 14yrs old but is about the sweetest dog you have ever met. Anyway, below is a link for the commercial

Laughter

It’s good for the soul. Last night I was having some whiskey with friends and after discussing everything possible thing you shouldn’t discuss in social graces (politics, religion etc) we still were laughing. Regardless of the seriousness of life, one must realize that it’s not that serious. Yeah we have tough times but if you come out of it smiling and thinking ‘well fuck, survived that one mostly intact’ then you are ahead of most people.

Without much context (discussing who possibly could still be alive: conspiracy theorist unite) there was a quote said last night that I had to write down:

‘'Tupac and Biggie Smalls are just sitting there smoking cigars watching Elvis beat the shit out of Hitler’’

Keep on laughing. Everyone should embrace smile lines, sore cheeks and tired abs (I know I have and recently more than ever).

Mother Teresa

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway. What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.

It's January 3rd!

3 days into Jan and I will say that the outlook of the year is great . Relief that 2015 is done and dusted. One can focus more on what the future holds now without living in the past. About to hop on the bike. 3rd day of training. Don't call it a comeback, I'm just turning negative energies into positive results.

First Blogger Thing

So days away from 2016

New Year, reset button

Cliche I know

But so true after this last year that almost killed me (not literal just my soul was beaten up a bit)

I’m still smiling, optimistic, laughing

Learned how to deal with stress.

Learned how to love

Learned how to hurt

Learned how to move forward

Learned to be vulnerable

My heart isn’t shut off like I thought it would be. It’s still optimistic but guarded.

My mind is getting stronger and I’m looking forward to the future.

All I think about for 2016 is like Dory off of Finding Nemo ‘just keep swimming, just keep swimming’
