I was thinking about you last night, wondering where you might be on your bicycle right now. I've been asking myself these same questions, about the work that must be put into the achievements I desire. It's never easy, but it's always rewarding. But it's work, for sure. It's time for me to stop procrastinating and roll up my sleeves.

I was still unaware of what I was learning in my twenties. In my thirties I started to see the trap I kept myself in. My forties are my favorite, and exhausting, with these endless opportunities to learn and grow that took me so long to see.

I also hated physical education as a child, but if they had only offered sports I was interested in, I would have been considered an athlete. Instead I was a dropout.
