Look at these fabulous mermaid socks!! They were given to me recently during "Random Acts of Kindness Week" and they are soooo "me". I have been on the receiving end of several random acts of kindness recently and each one brightened my day and made me feel all warm and fuzzy. I think we can sometimes get so wrapped up in day to day living that we forget to celebrate those golden moments in our day. My Counsellor suggested that I make a note of these moments and so I have what I call my "happy folder" where I make a note of nice things that have happened and I put pictures and magazine clippings in the folder to inspire me and remind me, when I feel as though I am losing the battle, that there have been good times in my life and there will be more of them in my future. It's good to be reminded that our lives do have these golden moments in them. Looking towards my more immediate future, having said several times that I wouldn't do it anymore; I did it again! Sorry folks but I have done it again! I have just signed up for a 53 mile bike ride in November of this year. I felt I needed something to train for to keep me focused on my healthy living lifestyle and propelling your own body weight on a bike for 53 miles is certainly a good incentive to stick to the healthy eating. Add to that the fact that this ride is with Cycling Down Dementia, a cause which is very close to my family, the pull was just too strong for me to walk away from this one. I promise Dondy, Katrina and Zach to try my very hardest NOT to be last over the finish line this time (they waited for hours in the heat, watched everybody else pack up and go home, but stayed and waited for me to finish the Humber Bridge Sportive). So I am back in training and am fervently hoping that the bad weather disappears soon so that I can get out on my bike more regularly. Bolt and I will be hitting the roads, puffing up the hills and screaming on the descents - give us a wave and some words of encouragement if you see us!!
