I remember my first bike. A yellow, pink and orange shiny piece of metal complete with plastic streamers hanging off the handlebar grips called, “Desert Rose” as named by Huffy, not me. I had two goals: 1) to ride so well the training wheels could come off and 2) to make those streamers shoot out the grips and flutter straight back as I rode at top speed. But of course, balance’s precarious fight with gravity made my learning a slow process yet, I made progress all the same. Balance is the basic key to riding a bike and momentum helps keep balance in check. These same lessons are true in life; the constant movement forward facilitates our equilibrium and whether we are enjoying a lazy, steady pedal or making our streamers dance furiously in the breeze, we must keep moving.
I have a framed poster in my kitchen which serves as a great motivator for me to “Just keep moving!”
Wishing you a splendid monday!
