I've been thinking a lot over the past couple days about how much my life has changed, and it's really awesome. If you read back through this blog, the person I was in 2005 isn't anything like the person I am today, back then I just had nothing - no hope for anything to happen that was good. Now I know it's finally happening, my life is finally being lived, I just have to continue on the ride. The ride inevitably takes the wrong trail here and there, and you fall off a bunch, but you just gotta keep going because you will hit the good part. You can't beat yourself up, you can't get sucked down into the depths of despair - you have to focus on the good that surrounds you even in the darkest of hours.
I keep trying to type more here, but it's already there. Hope. More words would just cloud it.
If you are sitting on your computer right now, without hope, trying to find the motivation to do something - man, I've been there. I've been to the depths of the ocean you're in, and I know the way out. Smile. Walk. Ride. Live.

words to live by. Hope is a great thing. Thanks for sharing.
I'm going to print that out and read it when I feel like nothing is ever going to change.
Thanks.
Mike and Linda - thanks, I'm glad it was good! I just want to share the hope, because man, I see so little of it these days - but it's so easy to find. When you hope, your whole world changes.
Riding has changed my entire outlook on health and life as well as how the two relate. There is no such thing as fat and happy, regardless of how much you hear it, I was never happy when I was fatter than I am now, and though I'm becoming more fit, I still have a way to go till I'm truly happy with the way I feel when I run and bike.
Thanks for sharing all your stories, I read your blog daily, just don't post a whole lot.
Joe
