Change Is Hard

…but change is certain.

Things I learned while riding my bike

4 Comments

On this Memorial Day weekend, as part of my new focus on fitness I took the bike out for an hour and a half ride over the back roads nearby.  I wasn’t out to find anything particular; just to see what I might see and enjoy the morning.  Here’s what I learned:

  • That it’s hard to see the potholes when you’re tearing down a hill wearing sunglasses.
  • That for every long uphill you can hope for an equidistant downhill.
  • That if you continue forward, even when you don’t know where you are, you’ll find your way.
  • That these bits of wisdom apply to more than an adventure on a bicycle.

You think?

I'm a long time banker having worked in banks since the age of 17. I took a break when I turned 50 and went back to school. I graduated right when the economy took a turn for the worst and after a year of library work found myself unemployed. I was lucky that my previous bank employer wanted me back. So here I am again, a long time banker. Change is hard.

  1. Aren’t you insightful?

    I took a bike ride last weekend and all I could think was how much I needed to get a seat with better padding! Lol

    Guess I need to get back out and peddle again. Clearly I missed out!
