The thrill of something new {new, to me, that is} hasn't worn off.
You would hope so.
It's been three days.
By the way I've named her/him - Matisse!
Today was a perfect day to ride mon velo Matisse.
So we did, and then when JB left for work at 5pm ... I did again.
My hair did not even require to be put in a pony tail, and it's not too terribly messy at the moment.
is this real life?
Today as I rode around under a cloudless blue sky,
I was
thankful.
for the colors summer provides.
the air in my lungs.
the flowers in bloom.
... and so many other things and of course, people, in my life.

{we love to bike. (: both taken on palm beach island, we'll have to get one while we're here}
but back to the thankful bit.
i know i'm not always fully aware of everything i have to be grateful for.
but today I was getting there. that place of thankfulness.
hope today you are in that place too.
