New Years resolutions, I was thinking about that today.
After spending yesterday transporting my invalid father by ambulance to the hospital to have someone look at the skin cancer that eating his face, I was lucky enough to have time, and good weather to get away for an hour today on the bike.
I was sitting by the lake at sundown, smoking a stogie, and thinking about what's important in life.
What came me is this.
It's not anything to be found on television.
It's what you can touch, see and feel.
For me, it's getting away on a motorcycle that demands your total concentration for an hour, and clearing my mind.
I resolve to spend less time escaping into other peoples lives via the television, and start living more of my own.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again.
Life is short.
I need to do a better job of living my own life.
Hour by hour, minute by minute.
Ferret seems to live a very full life, perhaps I should have take him up on his offer of lessons.
Only not on bike riding, on living.
Sorry to get up on my soapbox, just needed to vent.
My new 2018 motto.
Ride while we can.
Best wishes to all.
