Stepping back, reading all of your comments in the last post and thinking about so many of the events of my life over the last 6 years, has really given me so much inspiration to make some drastic changes. Someone mentioned to me in their comments, You can't move forward if you are still, holding on. So true, indeed.
Brushing off those knees and getting ready to ride back out into the road with the wind at my back.
Thank you again--I'm overwhelmed by your support.
Thank you, thank you.
Happy Holidays to all!!
