In my previous blog "Newbie" I discussed how I am getting use to my new bike. Here I am a couple weeks later talking again about my beloved fixie! Yesterday morning I jumped on my bike and took a morning ride through the prettiest parts of the neighborhood near me. The area is called Lakeshore and the resdents in this area get to enjoy beautiful, well-kept, manucured lawns and parks spaces along with a man-made lake and creek. Residents were out and about enjoying the morning and some were getting their patoon boats ready for a morning ride.
During my ride I was in pure bliss. I had disappointing news on Friday and I suprised myself with how happy I felt just the next morning. It made me realize how much a green envionrment can take a toll on your health mentally, physcially, and behviorally. There is much research about the benefits of green envionrments and the benefits to human health but what is interesting to me is how it effects behavior in the long term.
Instead of drinking or eating my sarrows away with my disappointing news I had a new percepective on things after my scenic bike ride. I made better decisions throughout the weekend and know that I am where I am suppose to be.
My current happy self and my future happy self says thank you to my bike.
What a fun topic to write about in your free write. Love riding a bicycle. I currently don't own one and think about it all the time. I really should fix that. Sometimes people are considered runners or cyclists-I love both. I guess tri-athalon people feel the same way. I'll have to remember topics like this for my next free write.
