Cathartic ride

What do you do on a rare 64 degree Sunday afternoon in February?  Shirk your responsibilities. Push off that laundry that needs to be done until later.  Grocery shopping can wait.  Take a quick shower, throw that hair into a pony tail and put on your boots.

You hop on the back of your man's Harley, throw caution to the wind and enjoy every single second.  Not just because you know you're looking at frigid temperatures, wind chill advisories and more winter weather to come, but because you deserve it.  Because you know that things are going to get worse before they get better so you make sure to take advantage of enjoying that simple pleasure while you can.... even if it's just for a few hours.


“I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, "This is what it is to be happy.”
Sylvia Plath,The Bell Jar
