Bummed

Back from Boston. Too cold to ride yesterday. Well for me anyway.

Today was a beautiful day but never made it out for a ride due to interpersonal conflicts. YES it is a SORRY excuse and I think that the ride would have done wonders for my mental health. After all, BIKE4SIGHT is about something FAR bigger and more important than petty grievances. It is about raising money for an organization that helps adults regain independence and personal dignity in the face of recent vision loss. People LIKE MIKE.

Despite my best efforts to compartmentalize, to maintain boundaries, I am human and today I succumbed to allowing other people’s thoughts, feelings and emotions become more important than my own. I allowed other people to control my life and determine how I would live today. I’m not proud of it but there it is. Tomorrow for sure…back on the bike.
