Dear Diary... a glimpse into the pages of a journal written by a woman rider.February 8, 2009
Dear Diary,
I got so lost in my own world today, it's amazing I even found my way back! H and I went riding again with no specific direction in mind. The sky was so blue and bright, it was just way too pretty to pass up! I know I should feel guilty for running off and leaving things undone... but I don't!
I was happy to be in the wind, for the second day in a row. It felt good to wear my half helmet again as the warm air caressed across my face. The roads became our playground and we were like two kids at recess. We rode aimlessly, from one crossroads to another, deciding at each one which direction to take. To me, these are the best kinds of rides.
Every now and then, a nasty little thought would creep into the corner of my mind, reminding me of the laundry piled up on the floor, and dirty dishes still in the sink. Maybe I should be ashamed of myself... but I'm not. I was having too much fun! I giggled out loud as I realized Dr. Suess was dancing around in my head...
I do not care
those dishes are there.
I do not care
they're there, I swear!
Do not fear
I'm in no quandary.
I simply love,
my piles of laundry!
Oh, I was having a blast! I couldn't feel guilty if I tried. The only one that could put me in the dog house for not doing my chores, was in front of me, leading the way, having just as much fun and I was!
The pleasure I get
from riding my Glide,
The joy I feel
I cannot hide!
If given the choice
to work or play,
I'll be riding the roads
again on that day!
Yep, like I said, I was in my own world today.
Me
