Life is Like Riding a Bike....

Life is all about learning. Learning to stand on your own. Learning to pedal fast when life throws it all at you at once; learning to coast and enjoy the breeze and calmness and take in the surroundings. Life is about learning to fall--sometimes gracefully, sometimes not. And life is about getting back on that bike and trying again. Life is about changing courses and destinations. We don't always end up riding where we originally thought we would end up. We ride in different directions. Life is about learning to ride with someoone. In perfect sync. Life is sometimes about riding by ourselves and finding ourselves through each pedal, each uphill battle, each turn. Life is about feeling the burn of pedaling that extra mile but also about feeling the accomplishment of making it through that final mile--and knowing what we are capable of. Life is about being scared. Scared to ride that far--scared of going down "that road"--scared of the hill that passes us by too fast. Life is like riding a bike.

Here are my kids riding their bikes and enjoying each pedal of the ride!
