Before After

Why?? I ask myself...

I'm always fascinated with why we make the choices that we do...  I was thinking about that today on my walk outside... in this gorgeous fall weather.  I love the fall... when there's a hint of chilly-ness in the air...

anyway ~ last week I was driving past a bike trail ~ and I found myself thinking "I wanna be one of those people who bikes on those trails... or goes for a long bike ride in the country..."   I've always wanted to be one of "those" people.  And during this same week ~ I also heard myself say "I wanna be one of those people who goes backpacking in the mountains, and camps at cool, remote places...."   I've always wanted to be one of "them" too...  I cannot tell you how many YEARS I've been "wishing" this...  (and the sad reality is ~ a very long time ago, I used to BE on of "those" people...)

so today on my walk...  I'm asking myself:  "so what's stopping you from doing those things?"   and you know... I have no idea!   Why is that?   Why ~ do you think ~ people who have genuine desires to go out and play ~ do nothing about it??  except dream about it??  You would think this would motivate me... but it doesn't.

What do you think is going on here?!?

Hmmmmmm

Fear of putting yourself out there?  Not sure.

GO buy a bike this week (or as soon as you can) and go for that ride!

It's new and scary

You get scared to try new stuff, scared to leave your comfort zone.  You just need to do it!  Pick a new thing and try it.  I bet the next new thing will be that little bit easier!
