Focusing my Mind Once More!


We live close to a gorgeous hike and bike trail. It’s about 4 ½ miles each way to the lake and back. It is a wonderful stress reliever to jump on my bike and get out into nature. Interestingly it is not without its stressors – if I let them get to me!

 

On a typical day any of this can happen: dog owners might ignore the leash law and let their pets run right in front of my bike, shirtless runners might spray me with sweat, cyclists sometimes overtake me so close I can feel their breath on my neck and groups of walkers can occupy the whole path and prevent me from getting by so I have to come to a complete stop.

 

Then I see overhead a blue heron, graceful and serene, and I remember all the good – what I’m doing out here and my mind is refocused… and I am BACK.
