So I have let this go for a while. The truth is that life got hard and habits and patterns are a tricky thing. As much as I got used to writing everyday, it was easy to go back to not writing everyday. It also got harder to find joy. The bottom line is that marriage is challenging, being a mother is challenging, being a daughter is challenging, and the list goes on forever.
What I like about this blog though is that it is mine. And writing this right now feels wonderful again. And finding the joy is unbelievably important and I wonder if my challenging days could have been fewer in number if I just got back on here sooner. But in the end, I didn’t.
Anyway, today was the first bike ride of the season that I participated in. My kids have been riding for a while and my son mastered two wheels a while ago. Today, I got my bike down from its winter storage in the garage and I joined them. Exercise also feels good when times are tough and spending time with my kids always feels good too. And yes, we are Yankee fans.
