So the plan was to pull weeds from my garden, instead I wandered around, camera in hand snapping pictures of pretties. I don't know about you but I really need to be in the right frame of mind to deal with weeds and today I just wasn't.
As I fluffed around, a genuine appreciation of the beautiful sunny day and my ability to enjoy my garden hit me. Spring is a wondrous season in Brisbane with bursts of colour everywhere. The rain we enjoyed yesterday has rejuvenated the foliage.
My fluffing also took me to our storage area. Now I figure if I post about my bike I'll get motivated and dust her off, pump up the tyres, drag out my cycling gear and away we go.
Don't you like her colours..grey, white, silver and black. Very Red Roses and Crystal.
Taking up cycling when my son was a teenager was a case of 'if you can't beat em join em'. The two men in my family are avid cyclists so....I got with the program!
Alas several years ago I suffered a nasty foot injury (the culprit was a humble slippery step) and with months of treatment and healing I lost my strength and confidence and invented excuses to avoid taking the plunge back to a pastime and form of exercise I relished. Fear of another injury can really stop us enjoying life.
Maybe it's spring and how this season makes feel alive and appreciative that I'm still able to push those pedals but I'm ready to jump back on the bike and give it a whirl. Come what may.
Wish me luck cause I'm a little rusty!
